[TowerTalk] Mounting antennas with tilt-over

[JOHN A JACOBSEN]

Why not initially mount the beam with the boom and elements parallel to the ground (elements would look vertical if the tower were raised). You should be able to snug everything up, raise the tower vertical, then use an extension ladder to reach the top of the tower. Loosen the mast to boom bolts, rotate the boom so the elements are parallel to the ground once again, tighten everything up, and you're good to go.
Good luck and stay safe
