Maybe the method I used is TOO SIMPLE...
I attached a "slip on pulley" over the
top of the mast which was above the tower.
Mounted a 1500# pull 12 volt winch at the 
bottom of the tower and ran 1/4 SS cable
from the winch thru the top pulley and back
down to the antenna  (a 200# + antenna)
that worked great for me as I had to raise
and lower THAT antenna several times before
returning it for warranty work. see this 
url for details.
