[TowerTalk] hanging Heliax

[Dick Green WC1M]

Andrew makes hoisting/hanging grips for LDF5 and LDF4. I found the LDF5
grips on ebay for a reasonable price.

Andrew also makes grounding kits for LDF5 and LDF4. I found them on ebay at
reasonable price as well.

Why not use the tools designed for the job?
