Jim WX6V, is the tower positive pull down with 2 cables (one for up and one for down) or is it gravity down (with just one cable)? How you go about solving the problem may depend on which configurationn you have.

Hi Jim,
As suggested by W6SR, I liberally applied WD40 to the winch gears last night. Tried lowering the tower this morning with no luck. I'll check closer for binding up above and try this again soon.
Fortunately, the storm isn't packing the winds originally predicted for Auburn today.
Thanks for the follow up - I'll be in touch.
