[FARC] FW: Help needed to drop tower - P.S.

[Mark Whitmore]

Jeff,

I can help.   I have several hundred feet of poly rope that was used to 
pull heavy electrical cable through buried conduit.  I don't know what 
the tensile strength is but I also have a block and tackle that would 
have four strands of this rope in parallel.

Come by the house and take a look if you have time.  Give me a call at 
301-662-8389.

Mark
