Yes me too, right now I got my crank up half way
because of the wind.
We made this here in Portugal, too expensive to
import this towers.
You can have a look at it in my site: http://www.qsl.net/ct1eeb
I got two a fixed one and a crank up with my 40m. beam..
I use reeinforced cable (as it supports all the weight)
but Iam thinking in putting a security device in the gear
just in case.
I have lubricate all (tower and cable) with a mixture of
motor oil and grease, that seems to work ok.
