Sure. My advice is to NEVER drop the guys!
There are a couple of good ways to get antennas up a tower. The
first is using a single tramline and is profusely illustrated in my UP THE
TOWER book (available from _www.championradio.com_
(http://www.championradio.com) ). The second is the N6BT wig-wag method where
you mostly thread the
antennas thru the guys. It's in Tom's book Array Of Light - also available
from Champion Radio Products.
If you get a copy of the new ARRL Antenna Book, tramming is in
there too.
