Personally, I have kind of "drawn the line" on mast steps. I am 6 ft tall
and I have no problem standing on the top of my Rohn 45 tower. My top
antennas are 10 ft above the towers. I don't find pulling the rotor and
stepping the mast down to the point I can reach the top antenna from the top
that time consuming. If you align the cum-along right you can raise the
mast up to pull the rotor and then lower it down by 5ft for top antenna
access in one maneuver. I would say its 90 mins max (typically 60) to have
the top antenna where I want it and standing on top.
