[TowerTalk] COAX on CRANKUP-how to hang

[K7LXC at aol.com]

>  I'd love to hear from folks who raise and lower crank-ups  remotely 
without 
problems as I aspire to be able to do that with two  upcoming tower 
installs.
 
        That's easy - NEVER lower  or raise your tower without being able 
to watch the whole thing and hit the stop  button if something hangs up. For 
most folks that means standing next to the  tower. I would suggest using a 
remote ONLY if you can see everything from some  vantage point (your shack?) 
and be able to stop the mechanism quickly.
