    Actually, there were two of us (did I cheat)?  I wore a climbing
    belt on the tower with loops for carrying the ratchet wrench, box
    end, plastic tape and screwdriver.  I hoisted the dish with a rope
    as I recall.

    Actually, the dish was duck soup to someone who's handled a 105
    pound dual band 9 element yagi on a 40 foot boom single-handedly.
