[Mldxcc] Advice on Tower Shipping

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

FWIW, I rented a 24 foot flatbed truck from Monarch
to pick up my 106 foot crankup.  I drove it up to the
top of "table mountain" at the W6BH QTH on fairly
narrow and steep dirt roads.  They put the tower on
the truck using a really big front end loader and
chains.  I took it off the truck using a forklift
that I borrowed from my neighbor.  Going over the
grapevine with the truck was quite an adventure, at
least you don't have to do that.

I believe it turns out that crankups rarely fit
in U haul trucks with the door closed, and in
any event, Monarch is way easier to work with than
U haul IMHO.
