[TowerTalk] Erecting a 40' Universal tilt base tower

[Don Havlicek]

Alan,
Yes to your question .. it's easy to do that way  ![speaking from 
experience with lifting a 70' tower with three monobanders at the top 
doing just what you say]

The tower can be walked up hand over hand by myself without the ant, mast, and rotator, but we tried with 4 large people and couldn't get it past about 30 degrees.  No more leverage at our height.  Is it possible and wise to attatch a line at the 30' level, route it above the peak of a roof and use a vehicle to pull it up?  Any thoughts or suggestioins would be most helpful.
