If Joel or anyone has used this product or other winches to bring a US Tower
from horizontal to vertical, please email me or post here. Mine is a US
Tower HD589 MDPL, motorized up/down.  NOT-GUYED, of course.  It has a heavy
20' mast, Force12 5BA Yagi, a 2 EL40M Yagi, 2 tilt plates (from NN4ZZ), a
Sony PTZ camera and housing and mounting. Also lots of coax, control line
for rotator and cabling for camera.  I bring it from near-horizontal to
vertical with the US Tower's raising device, hand winch. Getting' too old
for that, so I'm looking for winch ideas. 

I would like to mount the winch on the US Tower's raising fixture

If anyone has done this, including mounting, I would be grateful for advice,
your experience, etc.
Please, either on list or email or both.  If I bought a winch, need to know
120 VAC pr 12VDC and capacity for lift.

Thanks
