Actually, I have a setup on the back of my 3/4 ton truck with boom 
and winch. I usuallu do a lot of calculations before i attempt this 
but it does work with a lot of help on the guy ropes.

 I have used it to "pop-up" 40' of 25G with a tribander and 
rotor for field day, 48' of 25G with a VHF array from 2 meters to 
902 for VHF contests, and 48' HBX for a friend, which we then used a 
floor jack to pick vertically and set on to the foundation legs. 
That was the time when I learned that it is best to unhook from the 
tower before driving away....

Congratulations on a great cw Sprint score!  I am interested (as many 
others must be) in your station description.

Rigs, antennas, LOGGING PROGRAM (HiHi), etc.

Will you tell us about it?
