Steve,
I was getting ready to order all the article reprints.  I'm glad you
clarified that it is $1.00 for each reprint after the first one.  When I
first thought about this, and you just asked for an SASE for each article, I
thought "why not just charge a little for them".  However, I still have a
question - if I want all of them and send the appropriate amount of money,
how big an SASE will it take to hold them, and how much postage does it take?

Thanks for doing this for us - I missed most of the articles when they came
out.

Also, I have a chance to buy a Hazer from a friend.  I have several friends
that swear by them, and no one seems to have had a bad experience.  One guy
even stacks monobanders above his.  It would have its advantages, since I am
not much of a climber.  

I have a KT-34A, which may later be converted to an XA.  This is all that
would be on the tower, except maybe a small VHF beam.   The tower is 57 feet
of Rohn 25, house bracketed at 12 ft, and guyed to Rohn specs. 

Here is what i need to know:

1.  Is the Hazer a viable device for this type of situation?

2.  Any suggestions for how to attach the middle set of guys for quick
release for raising and lowering the Hazer?

3.  Anything else I should seriously think about before buying this device?

Thanks for all your help,
73,
Dennis
