You can install the guy wires at the top of the tower above the Hazer. Use a
longer mast. Then you loosen two guy wires to lower the antenna. Once the
antenna is lowered, you can re-install the two guy wires until the antenna
is ready to go back up. Phillystran would work well this way as you can pull
them to the back side of the tower during lowering or raising. No damage
that way.
