Here's how it was done...
Raise antenna to just below set of guys. Boom is directly under one of
the guy attachment points. Next, he took a HIGH QUALITY come-a-long and
attached it under the boom to the tower. He attached the come-a-long to
the guy wire with a juma (something I had never seen before). He then
cranked on the come-a-long until there was slack at the normal guy
attachment point. He unhooked preform for the guy and raised the antenna
past this point by a foot. Then he reattached the guy wire and unhooked
the come-a-long. We did this 3 times to raise it to 105 feet.
