Doesn't neccessarily take two people. I trammed up a 2 ele 40 to 85 feet
then pulled the mast up another ten feet and then trammed up a 5 ele 20
(only 34' boom). Not monster antennas, but did the whole thing myself except
for the pulling up of the mast where I got help from K7ABV who used his
pickup, pulling through the rope system I'd set up. I wanted help on this
part in case something hung up or bound.
Happy Holidays,
Matt--K7BG

I am also a fan of the removing the guy wires as you pull the antenna up the
tower. Removing a 4 el KLM 40 meter beam from 95 feet is easy to do with
only
one person...me. Of course the tram method works fine also, but requires at
least two people.
