[TowerTalk] Sommers 807 Boom Question

[kg4chx@telocity.com]

Has anyone in group installed a Sommers 807, and if so how did you handle the boom sag? Mine sags 1 meter on each end and I do not have a way to install with guys attached. I have a tilt over tower, and I am thinking of installing antenna with elements only to 3 to 4' from boom and then attaching elements after boom is secured. Seems like it will be difficult with or without elements to get guys correct with tower tilted and even with tower upright, pulling that much weight up seems like it would take a Herculean effort.
TNX in advance
