I agree with Don, but how big are the antennas.
I put up a 30' long 7L 6 meter Yagi, a TH-5 tribander, and a cross boom
((bout 16') with a pair of 12L for 144 and a pair of 11L for 440. I
just took them up the tower, or rather went up the tower with them as
they were pulled up via the gin pole (one at a time). I just rotated
them around the guys with no problem. The most difficult part were the
top guys where the angle is the greatest. That required both rotating
around the individual guy and around the tower at the same time. As the
antennas were supported by the rope to the gin pole it was relatively
easy, but like chess you had to think a couple moves ahead.
