[TowerTalk] Rotor replacement

No scientific data here to back me up, just a gut feeling:

My guess is most people will take a rotator up the tower with them exactly
one time.  I think a rotator looks like something about which you would say
at the bottom of the tower "that doesn't look so bad" and about which, when
you got to the top of the tower you'd say "I don't think I'll make that
mistake again."

That is certainly the way it went with me.  I replaced my first rotator by
taking the motor up while climbing.  From that point forward I have always
used a line and brought it up after I have arrived at the top.  Even if I'm
working alone, it is much easier to pre-tie the rotator and take the other
end of the rope on the climb.

Has anybody else noticed that they seem to get heavier the higher you get?
