I'm finishing up a 45G 100' guyed tower installation and will be putting
a Telrex TB6EM at the top (26' boom).  The problem I am contemplating is
how to navigate the antenna around the guys as I hoist it to the top.
I would hoist it up the top set of guys in a tram fashion, but trees
seem like they will be in the way if I try that (that is, if it is
riding up horizontal, or "flat" on top of the guy wire.)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
