above the top of the tower and the 10M beam at the top of that mast. A
similar configuration on the other tower with the 15 over the top of the 20.

So apparently you haven't read the tramming chapter in my UP THE TOWER
book available from _www.championradio.com_ (http://www.championradio.com)
. It's all in there. Aside from a crane, it's my favorite way of getting
antennas up or down.
