I used a single rope trolley a few times - it was a two pulley bracket that
hung under the rope, but had two arms that extended above the rope, which the
antenna boom was clamped to.  There was also a long rudder that would hang
down in an attempt to counteract an antenna intent on flipping over...er,
under, the rope. All in an attempt to install the antenna without having to
remove the tram line.

It worked, but all the extra weight caused more trouble than it was worth.
