Alan,

Who made your tower?  I have a 72 foot crank-up, tilt-over tower made by US 
Tower which I have had for just over 30 years.  I did not purchase the motor 
drive to raise and lower the tower as I could not afford it at the time and 
also I was a lot younger then.  Now I wish I had.

My tower can tilt over, however, that is difficult with trees getting bigger 
over the years.  In fact, my 2 element 40 meter beam is way to big to tilt 
over, however, I can reach it from the garage roof and I added the final 16 
feet on the end of the elements from the garage roof.

I cannot add the motor winch after the fact unless I return the tower to the 
factory, and that is not going to happen.
How do you like the DB-36?  I considered that antenna, however, I was afraid 
of the moving parts and the ability to reach it for service.  Instead, I put 
two elements for 40 at the top of my tower, 8 feet higher I put an 11 
element beam for 10 through 20 and above that 5 elements on 6 meters.  All 
this on a 22 foot chrome molly mast turned by an Orion 2800.

The beams have no traps or moving parts so hopefully little to no maintence 
will be needed for years.

 The beams came from Array Solutions in TX and are manufactured by Optibeam 
in Germany.  Another quality product from the germans.

73,
