I have a 15yr old crankup tower which the cable last week snapped. My
new 7 element 10 meter beam got bentup and my 5 element 15 meter beam
bent in half in the middle of the boom. So now I have to replace the
broken winch cable so I can fix or replace the antenna's. Is thier a
procedure to replacing the 2 cables in the crankup towers? I can't tilt
it over in the nested position because of a tree that has grown. I need
to crank the tower up about 5 feet and then tilt it over. Any idea's?
