I have a 72' crank-up....never touch it except for twice yearly when I run
it up and down and lube the cables.
73's,
Bill AA7X

Subject: [TowerTalk] Crank down towers when away
"Do you guys always lower the tower
when you skip town for a day or two? Or go to work?"
I can't speak for crank-up towers, I am partial to guyed ones, but I can
tell
you I disconnect all my feedlines, control lines, and AC whenever I am away
from the radio - Lightning has struck 4 times in my 40+ year ham hobby. I
suspect I would crank down my tower also if it were applicable.
