[TowerTalk] LM470 with raising fixture instructions.

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

I was going through the LM470 manual which does pretty well on details.  
The organization of which is not logical at least to my way of thinking.

I was trying to find the placement of the third leg of the raising 
fixture, but to no avail. The parallel ears go outside the mating ears 
on the base. It's not just intuitive, it's the only place they fit.  
However the third leg ear?  When standing on the side with the parallel 
ears, looking through the base, does that third ear go to the left or 
right of the matching ear on the base?  I could find nothing in the 
text, or pictorially that showed us where it went.

Of course we will find out when we place the tower, but if we were wrong 
it means disconnecting the hinge bolts for the tower and the 3 bolts 
holding the raising fixture and moving the whole fixture and then 
reinstalling all.

The other is the raising instructions.  Place the holes in the bottom of 
the tower (makes sense) aligned with the "TOP" holes in the base ears. 
(I don't think so)  All those holes have to line up as they all get 3/4" 
bolts and we can't do that if we hinge on the top hole.  I think this is 
where I'll do it my way, but I would appreciate knowing on which side of 
the that third ear of the raising fixture goes.  <:-))

Any thoughts, or knowledge?
