Rod:
I've had a 70', 18" face Glen Martin with hazer up since 1989. With the
help of two other fellows, we walked it up.
The hazer allows me to change or adjust antennas WHILE STANDING ON THE
GROUND! (Great place to stand!)
The (minor) drawback is that you must disconnect two guys in order to allow
clearance for the antenna when raising or lowering the hazer.
Good luck, 73, Barrie, W7ALW
