I don't think he was necessarily commenting on my using a remote, which
I wasn't ( I can practically stick my hand out the shack window and run
the tower). I think it was a general statement about using the remote.

Do you qualify for the WUST Award?
Verify QSO's with 13, 14 or 15 of the US Territories to qualify.

What leads you to believe that he was using a remote to crank the tower up
and down?

Hi All
Went out this morning to crank up the tower to see if I could hear any
of the EU on 6 meters. as soon as it started up I heard a couple
cracking noises. I stopped and tweaked it up and down a little and
discovered that the flange bearing on the back side of the multi wrap
sheave failed.
