[TowerTalk] Raising a TH-11 DX antenna

[Russ Dearmore]

 Paul,  I will try your tram line technique next time I get the chance.  I used to live in a 2 story house and had a carriage house in back that was also 2 story.  I ran a line between the peaks but removed one end to lower the small beam down by hand and bent several spokes in the process.  If I had simply attached a shackle or pulley over the line and to the beam I could have easily slid it along the line till the beam was over the yard and slipped one end of the line and gently lowered it down and done the old prospector dance in Treasure of the Sierra Madres..... ( Walther Houston).   I've moved since then  but I'll be raising a 20m mono this fall onto my 72' US Tower telescoping tower and will see if I can make it as efficient as you did.  Thanks a bunch...
