Been a lot of comments on the Glen Martin Eng Hazer system; but I have not
seen much on the Voyager Hazer.
The Voyager is also made by Glen Martin and I elected to go with this system
on one of my towers. The Voyager runs up a track mounted on the outside of
the tower. The unit is raised and lowered by attaching a 1/2" electric
drill.
I am currently using the system on a 120 ft Rohn 45 tower. The antenna is a
Force 12 modified 620/340 antenna. It has a 47 ft boom and the 40 mtr
elements are the larger 'N' elements. The rotor is a M squared RC2800P.
Before this antenna, I had a Force 12, 2 ele 80 mtr beam on the system.
I have been very pleased with the Voyager and it allows you to assemble the
antenna on the mast while on the ground. To raise it, I detach 2 of the
3 guy wires at the lowest level and then run the unit up until it clears the
first set. The lower ones are then re-attached and the same procedure is
then used on the next set. etc.
