[TowerTalk] Inverted V On Crank-Up Tower

[Craig Sande]

I am installing a 70 foot crank-up tower soon and would like to install an inverted v antenna for 80/40 M.  The tower will have a remotely controlled motor to extend and nest it from the shack.

In such an arrangement, is their anyway to have a tensioned reel to take in the antenna excess as the tower is lowered, or does one simply allow the inverted v to drape down?  I'm concerned about the wires snagging on something and putting stress on the tower as it is remotely extended to operating height.

Any suggestions?
