Anyway, my problem is how to lower it. I'd put a ladder up to the top
to remove the antenna/rotator but how to lower the actual tower over is
the
question. Didn't see anything I could attach a block and tackle to. I see
from the current site, the tower weighs 360 pounds. Now I am a member of
the
local DX club, but like most clubs today, it is full of old men and couple
of us slowly aging? woman.
So I'm asking, how many folks do you think I would need to walk the
tower over? Or any other ideas such as letting it fall onto something
soft and
crush able like a bunch of cardboard boxes? Ideas?
Well, once you get it horizontal you still have to figure out how to
get it to the front of the house and then onto a truck or trailer. My
advice
is to get a crane or boom-truck involved. It can handle everything you
need to do; e.g. get a man-basket (or woman-basket in this case) to take
the
antenna off. Then the crane can pick the tower up and put it on the
truck/trailer.
