Decided to hire someone to put my 48' boom 20m yagi in the air.  Every other
antenna and tower section has been put up by myself.  No ground crew, nuttin
but me.  

Well... I decided Saturday afternoon to try and lift it up a bit on the
tower so that I could check the SWR.  I couldn't lift up one foot.  The
"pully" on my gin pole was less than useless.  Another pully I mounted on
the side of the tower near the top was better but I still couldn't lift the
antenna at all.  

I went to the hardware store and didn't see a block and tackle.  Not sure I
would know what to do with it if I had one!  :)

Thanks

Bill
