[TowerTalk] Steptower?

[Jim Jarvis]

Barry took my jibe well....and came back with a good idea.
My thought is to use an MA770, and remotely control it to
set height.   Somebody probably should copyright 'Stepptower',
just in case.  :)

At the same time, I WILL say that my VT tower was an AB621,
which I could bring down singlehanded, to work on the antenna. 
So I hedged my bets.  

OTOH, SteppIR makes a 'boom slide' fixture, which allows you to
assemble/disassemble the thing in the air, without hanging out
in the breeze.  Got one, never needed it.

Jim,
I'm all for new technology. So, in answer to your question, get the 4 
el, and use a Stepptower. That way the tower will go up and down to 
find the optimum height as the antenna tunes itself.
