[TowerTalk] Motorized Tri-Ex W-51

[Steven Katz]

I had a "Towtec" motorized winch on a W-51 back in the 1970s!  I don't think they're around any longer, but it was a very easy conversion at the time.

Nice article here about using commonly available commercial hoists for telescoping towers:  http://www.w4abc.com/drive.html

Has anyone tried, and been successful, in motorizing a W-51 ?

I tried slogging through the archives, found a couple of vague references, but nothing of note.

Tnx, Dick, W1KSZ
