Getting the tower and beam was a fun project and not as hard as I thought it would be.  First, I rented a great big bucket truck and operator.  This gent is a virtuoso with the bucket - really amazing.    After lifting my friend, Builder Bob, onto the roof, he lifted the tower up in the air and then gently eased it down onto the roof.  Bob bolted the tower on the roof.  The truck operator lifted the antenna high into the air, the ground crew held the steadying lines, and then down onto the mast.  A little wrenching, cabling, finger-crossing, and wow!!  it's done.
