I just rented a Genie AWP30S (30 foot pusharound lift) this weekend.
I hope I never have to use one again!!!  It was smooth and easy to
operate, but it sure didn't feel stable when all the way up at 30
feet.

To K7LXC:

The lift worked, but it was scarey.  I feel alot more comfortable
climbing my tower!!!!  Next time I think I will Tram the antenna down
or swivel it down next to the tower or something.  The 40m yagi seems
to be working reliably again, but only time will tell.  All I did was
replace the PL-259 as expected.
