[TowerTalk] Luffing winch Tennamast

[Fernando Gonzalez, EC1CT]

Max,
I have a standard tennamast for my 6 meters yagi (see pictures on qrz.com). 
I would go undoubtely for the braked winch and I think Tennamast have some 
offers on them. In case the replacement of the winch imply an easy access to 
the cable ends I would replace the entire cable as well. 73s
