Re: [AFMUG] OT: Free 6 ft size, 6 GHz high performance dish, you haul

This do this by establishing an anchor point+pulley near the dish and hoisting up a small oxy-acetylene cutting torch rig?

If it was me, I'd leave two of the lower ones on the tower to make use of them for licensed PTP and get rid of the rest.

Crane?� Based on my knowledge of rigging methods, I'm trying to figure out in my head a way to establish an anchor and pulley above those dishes to lower it with a steel cable and winch, but they're right at the top of the tower. Or vice versa, to raise one following a cable path at a 35-45 degree angle... There is a 25-floor building near here with a nice 8 ft size 6 GHz Andrew dish. I could have it for free. It's built from heavy gauge everything and probably weighs 600 pounds. The only way to get it down now would be a helicopter, it's been up there 25+ years.
