JC,
I have a 4el 40M beam at 150 feet... I built a PVRC swivel mount out of angle steel and steel plates, U-bolts, etc., and it works for bringing the boom/elements into the tower for work... Not perfect, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...  The elements and the guy wires like to get intimate at times, but usually a bucket of cold water and a few choice words will solve that,,, 
Once assembled you can then, if you choose, remount the boom in the usual manner and bring the PVRC hardware down...

I have been eyeing the MonsterIR... I have the 4el 40 on top of the tower and a KT36XA at 120' on a a piece of crap TicRing... I have pretty much lost the contesting fever so I'm considering cleaning off the tower and putting the M-IR on top... The Orion 2800 is already mounted up there, so the change over would be relatively painless.. 

Denny
