[TowerTalk] HDBX-48 Tilt Up

[n8de at thepoint.net]

Use the falling derrick method and pull it up with a rope over the  
falling derrick ... attached to something able to do the pulling.

I'm using that method to pull up my 60' Universal Tower  
(self-supporting) with 3el 30m, 5el 17m, and 5el 12m yagis on top.   
The falling derrick is about 22' tall.  Using my pickup truck to take  
it up.
