Has anyone in group installed a Sommers 807, and if so how did you handle the 
boom sag? Mine sags 1 meter on each end and I do not have a way to install with 
guys attached. I have a tilt over tower, and I am thinking of installing 
antenna with elements only to 3 to 4' from boom and then attaching elements 
after boom is secured. Seems like it will be difficult with or without elements 
to get guys correct with tower tilted and even with tower upright, pulling that 
much weight up seems like it would take a Herculean effort.
TNX in advance
