to use a trail rope on the bottom section  to steady it.
 
    This is a hard won lesson. The LXC Sub-Prime  Directive is to "Break 
tasks into their smallest, bite-sized chunks and do not  try to do two things at 
once"; e.g. bringing up a beam with the coax attached,  pulling up a tower 
section with plates, thrust bearing, etc., bringing up a  section with the guys 
attached, etc. Everything is much easier when you do it  one thing at a time.
