4) The wide base also is a PITA when raising lowering things on ropes
(everything drags up the side or goes down into the center). This really can

Nothing is impossible :-)
Use block and tackle, small loop at the bottom block, thread the puling rope
through it, step back and let the antenna ride on the pulling rope as far away
from the tower as you like.
