Have had your experience. What I learned was you're really better off standing
the tower up without the antenna on it, then using a tram line to get it up
there.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Erecting a 40' Universal tilt base tower
I am in need of some ideas on raising a tilt over base, 40 Universal tower. It
is aluminum, with a rotator, 20 lb 9 ft. mast and a Force 12 C3ss antenna that
is about 30 lbs. The tower can be walked up hand over hand by myself without
the ant, mast, and rotator, but we tried with 4 large people and couldn't get
it past about 30 degrees. No more leverage at our height. Is it possible and
wise to attatch a line at the 30' level, route it above the peak of a roof and
use a vehicle to pull it up? Any thoughts or suggestioins would be most
helpful.
Thanks,
Alan Young
