[TowerTalk] Mast install help

If I had to guess, you are thinking like you will must attach your 
lifting rope to one end of the mast, and therefore you need a gin pole 
that is longer than your mast.  But I am only guessing.  If that is what 
you are thinking, you are missing the fact that you don't have to lift 
the mast from the end.
