I don't see why there would be any question that one could do that.

That's a much bigger, and important question.  I don't know the answer.
It would depend a LOT on what antennas were involved and the amount of
rotation needed.  As far as the pulleys are concerned, there is only one
at the top and one at the bottom, and everything is confined to one
tower face.

108 inches, steel, from Glen Martin.  The only thing on it is the C31XR,
about 2 feet above the thrust bearing.

SRI I can't help more with the idea of more than one hazer etc, but
getting ONE up was a big enough project for me last year.  This year I
use it - maybe next year something else on it!  HI
