Many thanks to all the LFers for the suggestions, i'm find a sistem that do
not need to put long wire everywere around the tower, and a sistem that work
well without many check, climb a tower of 80 meters, with the last 10 meters
outside of the tower is not simple, and any operations that a ground level
are simple, at that eight  are really hard!! hi hi.
So for now thanks again, and soon i'll try something for replace the simple
vertical wire that i'm using now.
73 to all and see you from my home qth in Brescia in qrss 137.7, and may be
on saturday from the tower.
Giulio.
