[TowerTalk] Tram Hardware for Installing Wire Antennas

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

There are situations where a trolley like this would be useful, and
there really are people who are that ignorant of rigging.  I think
it's worth a 1/2 page Hints and Kinks article, myself.  Not everyone
knows that snatch blocks are readily available, and what to do with
one.

   Let me see if I have this right. $100 device replaces a $2 pully and some 
   small diameter rope. Makes sense to me <sic>
