4) The wide base also is a PITA when raising lowering things on ropes 
(everything drags up the side or goes down into the center).  This really can suck 
when you're working up top alone>>


Nothing is impossible :-)

Use block and tackle, small loop at the bottom block, thread the puling rope 
through it, step back and let the antenna ride on the pulling rope as far away 
from the tower as you like.
