- For those who use 12v DC electric winches or hoists to lift the tower, I am curious as to power sources used. _______________________________________________ _________________________________________

- Hi Kenneth, I have a 90~ish Ah deep cycle battery, kept charged by a trickle charger, which is only a 500mA or so 12-14v wall wart. The wall wart is inside an outdoor outlet, and the battery is in a

- Been there done that, and my experience was nothing but a pain. Do it right and go AC. The price of a DC hoist will get you close a AC model. 73 NJ0F For those who use 12v DC electric winches or hois

- I went with the DC and trickle charger too. Inside with big wire going to tower (it is less than 10ft from the house). My reason for doing it this way instead of AC is that I can lower my tower AFTER

- Good point Jim. I keep my eye on the weatherman and if bad stuff is about to set in, I crank my towers down BEFORE the bad stuff gets here or the power goes down. NJ0F Sent from my iPhone ___________

- Diligence is a good thing but weather forecasts don't always play out as predicted. As I previously described, I had myself and 3 others converge on an older hams QTH for a "Tower Raising" but... Alt

- True enough Jim but, using the N6RK method, I too can lower/tilt my tower after the power goes out because the manual winches are still useable. Also, since I'm using a Milwaukee "Super Hawg" drill (

- I won't choose to raise/lower my TX472 in the rain unless I /have/ to. If I have to, it's only rain... water... and won't hurt me. I won't be standing in the lightening (nor the lightning) for any r
