I have VHS video of the installation of the following:
1. 80 M dipole (Force 12 EF-180C) @ 149 ft using commercial gin pole by
installation crew from United States Tower Services, LTD.
2. 5 ele 20M beam (205CA) @ 100 ft on ring rotor using steel wire-rope
tram with rolling block and tackle pulled by lawn 1tractor.
3. 2 ele 40 M beam (40-2CD) @ 67 ft on ring rotor using steel wire-rope
tram with rolling block and tackle pulled by lawn tractor.
If anyone is interested in these videos, let me know. I will copy and
ship to you for cost recovery.
