If you're that close to Tashjian Towers (Karl Tashjian
used to be TriEx's chief engineer) you might consider
driving up there and picking the raising fixture up.
When I bought an extra base for my W51 several years
ago another ham in the DFW area and I both ordered
one, and a ham friend who is a long haul semi truck
driver picked them up for us at the plant and brought
them to Texas on the back of his semi. He was dead
heading back to Texas anyway so he didn't chrage us
for bringing them here. He lived in East Texas so my
XYL and I just drove over to his home QTH one
afternoon and picked them up.
