Working at 20 foot height while safety-belted onto a tower is MUCH safer
than working at 20 foot height standing on an extension ladder.

But it surely is convenient not to have to climb all the way up to work on
or
install antennas & rotators. I just yesterday had 3 friends over &
installed
a new HyGain 204BAS (4 el. monobander) on my HDX555 US tower while it was
retracted to the 22 ft level. We used a 24 ft extension ladder & didn't have
to get on the tower at all.
Freight on my tower from Visalia to Corpus Christi was about $215.00, and it
d
id cost me$150 to have a truck mounted crane to unload it (1000 lb.), but, I
love the tower!
It could have been unloaded a lot cheaper with a few hams, an "A" frame &
chain hoist.
