[TowerTalk] Yet another Hazer Guying Question

[Gene Fuller]

Hi Doug -
I built a carriage system for my 100 foot tower. The tower is quite 
substantial and guyed at 30/60/90. What I do is lower to 90. Disconnect the 
90 guys at the anchor and lower to 60. Disconnect the 60's and lower to 30. 
Climb to 30 and fish the 60's outside the carriage and reconnect to the 
anchors. Disonnect the 30's and lower the carriage to ground level. With a 
less substatIial tower you would want to start fishing the guys out and 
reconnecting earlier in the game. You just have to wait for a calm day and 
asses the situation. Any way you slice it, it's more than a trivial task.
Good luck, and 73's,
Gene / W2LU
