I attached the last 6 sections this weekend,  4 sections yesterday and two
today.  I checked/snugged all the bolts one more time just to make sure,
then.....I threw the switch and watched.   It went up without a hitch.  It
made a little different noise as it went through about 45 degrees, but it
didn't seem to change the movement.

I fastened a piece of square aluminum tubing with an eyebolt near the top
and ran a rope through it.  After the tower was all the way up, I moved my
OCF to there.

I've still got he rotor, cables and antennas to mount, but it's nice cause
I can mount all that on the ground and then raise it back up.

The rotor plate doesn't want to fit where I think it should, so I'll
contact Heights tomorrow for advice.   No big thing, I know it will
eventually mount.

It's a Heights Tower Systems 76'  Aluminum tower, that, according to
specifications is supposed to be able to lift 330 pounds mounted at the end.

Here's a link with the  pictures from beginning to end.
