> The Voyager Hazer is a tower accessory  designed to elevate antennas up and 
down the outside of a tower. A separate  set of aluminum track is bolted to 
the face of the tower. Four sets of bronze  bearing rollers make contact with 
the track, and a cage with antenna &  rotor on a continious pull cable rides up 
and down the tower.....

"Mouse Trap" for getting the antenna up and down a HD 45-55G  tower..??



"Mouse trap" is right -  more like "Mickey Mouse". IMO the Hazer is an 
apparatus that appears to be  really helpful but can be potentially dangerous. At no 
time should you  disconnect the guy wires on a standing tower! 
 
        Why do you need to run  antennas up and down the tower? If 
everything's properly installed, you  shouldn't have to work on anything for YEARS!
