[TowerTalk] Erecting tower sections solo

[Peter Voelpel]

I do use the same, any tower work is done by myself.
The winch is permanently installed at the main tower and with the remote
control connected to my belt I can activate it from any position on the
tower or from the climbable rotating pipe up to 45m.
The heaviest antenna moved so far is my fullsize 40m yagi which weighs
150kg.
Most of the 3m long tower sections are even heavier and I use a ginpole as
well for hoisting them.

A similar but smaller winch is installed on demand at the smaller towers.

Don’t know how he did it but I use an electric winch with a remote control.
I’m another of the solo installers.

I seem to recall a thread a long time ago about how Bill, KM9P, put up his
towers without any assistance.  But, except for posting where he 
stated he did so, I cannot find any details about how he did it. 
In particular, once the tower section is hauled up with the gin pole
how is the tower section moved up and down as needed to seat it
on the existing tower?
