First let me say I am taking my tech exam this coming Saturday (1 week from today).


I have decided that I want to install a glen martin RT-936 (9 foot tall) roof top tower on my 2 story house. I am going to use a T2X tail twister rotor, a 24 foot long aluminum pipe  (2" outside diameter / 1/2" wall / 1" inside diameter) for mast.


I am putting up a large 40 foot boom beam antenna, with an omnidirectional antenna above it. I have the instructions on how to reinforce the roof-- so that wont be the problem--  I just need to know the SAFEST way to install the beam up on the mast-- I can get the roof tower mounted, I can get the mast mounted, I can even get the Omnidirectional antenna mounted on the mast... But I am scratching my head on how to get the beam on the mast once the mast is mounted in the rotor, which will be nested inside the roof top tower.



I asked a friend, and he said I should try to get a truck with a cherry picker/ lift bucket, and install the beam that way.


????


suggestions are welcome.


Thanks


Charlie
