[TowerTalk] Tilting Down a US Tower HDX-589 (N3AE)

[N3AE]

One of the more interesting techniques I've seen to get a tilt-over "started" is the one Dave, G4HUP, has at his station. He uses a pneumatic bladder from some sort of truck suspension. It also has the advantage of cushioning the tower when it's raised and wants to "pop" vertical. Details and pictures in Figures 2 and 9 of his paper at http://g4hup.com/G4HUP%20EME2012.pdf
