 I want to use a power pole 100ft tall and would like to get some ideas
 to
 make a sled system that would go up the side of the pole to raise my
 antennas
 up and down.

 Mount supported 2 aluminum angle arms out from the top of the pole or 
toweron each side.  Run 2 cables down on each side and secure at the bottom.  
Run 2 legs of a 10' tower over the cables on one side.  Mount rotator/mast in 
tower.  Have a big diameter pulley at the top and an equal weight or winch 
with a pony brake on the other side of the pole.  Run this carridge up and 
down the pole on a wire track.  Run the counter weight on the 2 cables on the 
other side.  k7gco
