Good afternoon.

I have done this several times, but not on a guyed tower. I use it to rotate 
close-spaced stacks with one rotator.

Recommended it to a fellow back in PA this summer and he put it up, too, to 
stack two antennas for 20 mtrs. It takes a little ingenuity to be sure it is 
stable.

One caution for crank-ups is to be sure the "down mat" CANNOT swing into the 
tower and wedge itself when lowering the tower.

Other than that, it is a simple way to have a rotating stack of smaller 
antennas with a single rotator.



Have a good day and 73,
