[TowerTalk] Dropping guys

[Gunnar Widell]

Hi Larry,

An alternative for a BIG antenna could be to build it up in the tower.
I have done this three times now, with 3 element full-size 40 meter yagis.
By lifting the boom and the elements one by one, does not require very
heavy duty lifting gear.

It is much faster if there are two persons available in the tower.

Please have a look at this post:
