[TowerTalk] Father's Day gift ideas

[n4kg@juno.com]

THREE comealongs are highly recommended, unless you 
need the aerobic exercise and have lots of time :-)

While you are at it, a plumb bob or two is nice for truing the tower.
Either attach at the center of the tower or use two supports (5-6 ft)
at right angles with a small woven cord or solid wire supporting a
pair of small weights (3-5 lbs).  Sit on the ground, hands behind
you, and sight the tower.

I use old Big Grips wrapped part way for my wire pullers.
Cheap and easy.
