[TowerTalk] Dropping guys

[Larry]

I usually use a tram line for putting up the antennas but I have
a bigger antenna (4el 40M) that will be awkward at best with
a tram line to put up this time. I may still have to do the install
with a tram line. Dropping guys might be less awkward although
my guess is more work. I thought I ought to look at the guy dropping
scheme as an alternative. I can't get a long enough boom truck in to
put it up.
