Frankly, just get a neighbor. I used one to get my 750 lb Bauer 707 broadcast
transmitter into my basement with a handtruck....

For Pete's (or fill in your own noun) sake, I can't believe all the hubbub
about moving a box from the front porch to the basement!! Unless Bill is a
hermit, how about asking another amateur radio operator in the area to help
out; or a next door neighbor? Unless I am living in a different world of
amateur radio, I have never had a problem finding another "ham" to help me when
needed; and I have helped out many other amateurs since I have been in the
hobby since 1961.
My two cents worth.
