> The Voyager Hazer is a tower accessory designed to elevate antennas up and
down the outside of a tower. A separate set of aluminum track is bolted to
the face of the tower. Four sets of bronze bearing rollers make contact with
the track, and a cage with antenna & rotor on a continious pull cable rides up
and down the tower.....

"Mouse Trap" for getting the antenna up and down a HD 45-55G tower..??
"Mouse trap" is right - more like "Mickey Mouse". IMO the Hazer is an
apparatus that appears to be really helpful but can be potentially dangerous.
At no
time should you disconnect the guy wires on a standing tower!
Why do you need to run antennas up and down the tower? If
everything's properly installed, you shouldn't have to work on anything for
YEARS!
