Don -
I agree with W9GE, although I wish you well, I fear you are vastly
underestimating the time required, even for the project you describe. I can
hardly get my climbing gear together in an hour, much less put up 2 towers,
HI! One hour to put up 2 56' towers with a gin pole that you don't have??
Pardon me if I'm misinterpreting your wording.
73, Bob - W3YY

Bob,
No ... one tower is sitting waiting for the monobanders to be placed on the
mast and then pulled up on its hinged base to the vertical position ...
about 1 hour's work. The monobanders are ready to install.
The other two towers are 56' HDBX towers with masts/pulleys to support the
ends of wire antennas. Another 1 hour's work if Gin-poles are used (I don't
own one). Perhaps 90 minutes at max.
