Boomers going up |
Note the rope attached to the top of the mast. It is the "skate line" and is used to keep the antennas out of the guy-wires and other obstructions on the trip up. |
The antennas are hung on a bridle to keep them level and a pulley rides the skate line which can be tagged out from the tower to move the load away from wires and such. The load line is also attached to a bridle to help keep the antennas pointed up. |
