Paul, here's something I've been trying to figure out. I go to tower sites,
like nutby to do repairs. The tower, especially the cell phone towers have
guy wires at 45 degree angles up to the top without any breaks.
If I could have a ratchet device that I would pull with a rope, that would
turn a gear with a pulley that would grab the guy wire, I could hoist a
pulley up and attach a wire antenna at the top. When finished, pull it down
and drive away.
Princess auto have a cable ratchet that could be adapted to clamp on, but as
you get higher, the pull from the antenna wire weight may make it slip.
I've googled for a commericial device but can't find anything. Have you
seen a guy wire climber?
