[SADXA] New winch for tower

[D Dismachek]

Hi all,
just upgraded my tower to electric winch from manual. It is a 50 foot Tashjian WR-51 tower with 1/4 inch or 7/32 inch cable. Here is what I'm using
AmazonSmile: AC-DK 3500 lb. Electric Steel Cable ATV Winch Kit, 12V Winch for Towing ATV/UTV Off Road Trailer, IP67 Waterproof Winch with Wireless Remote Control Mounting Bracket(3500 lbs Winch) : Automotive

It does have a "free-spool" capability, which I have added a pipe clamp at the bottom of the lower tower crank up section, so that it can't be screwed with. I will need to remove that clamp if lowering and move it up if raising. This winch allows me to stand on the roof and adjust the cables and dipole lift while raising and lowering the tower. I was also able to control the tower winch out at the end of my 80-6 meter dipole.
