Speaking of contest, what contest?

Don't know if I'll have the tower and antenna (C19XR tribander) up by 
mid June or not

I purchased an LM470 about 2 miles from me.  Unfortunately they added on 
to the house AFTER the tower was up.  It tilts over fine, but I need at 
least 20 feet in the other direction to lay id down.  Unfortunately 
there is 8 feet of house in the way.  Sooo...We have to get something 
capable of lifting the bottom of the crank up sections off a 10' high 
base.  The whole thing is 1200# so the one end should be a bit over 700 
as it's the heavy end.
