[TowerTalk] Climbing mast

[Ed Sawyer]

Its serious “pucker factor” doing a 10 ft mast climb at 80+ feet.

 

Personally, I have found that I can pull the rotor and drop the mast down
with a “come a long” to a serviceable height of 5 ft (allowing me to at
least stand on top of the tower) in not much more time than build the steps
up as they go.  Takes about 2 hours to have my top antenna where I can get
to it from the top of the tower and about 2 ½ hours to have it all the way
down to sitting on the tower.
