[BULK] - [TowerTalk] antenna installation

[Steve Katz]

You can:

-Slide the mast way down inside the tower (with the rotor moved out of the
way), clamp it that way using the thrust bearing setscrews, and install the
"top" antenna; then, slide it up a few feet and install the "second from
top" antenna, and so forth until you're done.

-Or, you can use a mast with climbing spikes, a good belt and a lot of guts.

-Or you can install the tower with the antennas already assembled onto it,
if you have the right raising fixtures, or a lot of help, or a crane...

The first option is the one most people use.
