[TowerTalk] Re 40 repair

[JACK]

I have worked on my CC 40 antennas  on the tower in the following
manner. I tie a rope around the boom from as far as I can reach on one
side of the mast to the same distance on the opposite side, leaving
about 3 ft slack rope length. Clove hitches work well.   I then attach
the gin pole rope to the center of that rope. I unbolt the boom to mast
clamp, and lower the antenna at least half the boom length. I then swing
the antenna on the gin pole rope as far as I have to to reach what it is
I want to fix. In your case, you will probably want to swing the boom
almost to the end, tie it to the tower, and remove the whole element. GL
