I have a Telex Hy-gain HG-70HD crank-up tower installed with four 6M 7
element yagis on an H-Frame. I have an electric winch attached for raising
and lowering. The tower has been raised and lowered from fully retracted to
about 20 feet up, and then back down.
Everything seems to run very smoothly, with no odd noises, shudders, grinds
or bumps.
I'd like to be able to raise the tower to it's full height, but I don't know
exactly what to look for as it approaches maximum travel.
Does it just "stop"? Could it bind at full extension? Anyone have clues
for the clueless?
