Glenn,
What an excellent method and description of the long mast! I have a
fair amount of experience in masts that are longer than twice the
height of the gin pole, and the method I use, while effective, is
not absolutely safe, as yours is. Mine requires attention to physics,
confidence, a trustworthy ground crew, and probably a tower that
doesn't exceed 80 or so feet, whatever the effective shouting
distance is. It also isn't recommended for masts that weigh more than
150 pounds.
I won't share it here, as yours is far better; and SAFER!
Thanks for the idea. Consider it stolen and prosletyzed!
