[TowerTalk] pushing a mast up at the top of the tower

[Jay Kesterson K0GU]

   I also use a come-along. I put a U-Bolt on the mast, tie a rope to 
the U-Bolt and run the rope though a snatch block mounted on the top 
rung of the tower. Then attach the rope to the come-along outside of the 
tower so that the entire come-along is outside the tower.

   Have also used this same setup, minus the come-along, with another 
snatch block at the base of the tower and pulled the mast up with a lawn 
tractor or my truck.

   If I have a helper on the ground I use the truck. If I don't I use 
the come-along.
