[Tower-Speak] Re: Tower-Speak Digest, Vol 11, Issue 5

[Chuck Wallis]

I purchased a right angle worm gear winch which I can crank manually or use 
a drill motor to power up and down.  Works great and I didn't have to worry 
about installing an electric winch.  If you want more detail let me know and 
I will supply.

P.S. my tower is a TriEx LM354
