[Elecraft] 14.8 VDC for KX1?

Paul, here's something I've been trying to figure out.  I go to tower sites,
like nutby to do repairs.  The tower, especially the cell phone towers have
guy wires at 45 degree angles up to the top without any breaks.

If I could have a ratchet device that I would pull with a rope, that would
turn a gear with a pulley that would grab the guy wire, I could hoist a
pulley up and attach a wire antenna at the top.  When finished, pull it down
and drive away.

Princess auto have a cable ratchet that could be adapted to clamp on, but as
you get higher, the pull from the antenna wire weight may make it slip.

I've googled for a commericial device but can't find anything.  Have you
seen a guy wire climber?
