I have a photo of Ron Bailey's (AA4S) CTSVR installation that uses a
cantilever arrangement to raise and lower his antenna with a hand
cranked wench. He can raise and lower the antenna by himself from ground
level. His CTSVR is elevated above ground about 9' with elevated radials
on 160-40 meters.
The CTSVR weighs 50lbs when assembled with a 17' diameter top hat
assembly on top. I recommend the pushup approach to installing the
CTSVR, but commend Ron on his novel approach to the installation. 73's

PS, I have a jpeg image file of Ron's installation for anyone who would
like to see it.
