Hi all:

section up

  I've used a pickup truck backing away from the tower
(so the driver can see the section going up, HT in hand)
    (using a diverter pulley if necessary)
with the load line tied to the FRAME under the engine,
going to a pulley tied to the foundation of the tower.
Gin poles are big things that you rent.
