[MLB-WIRELESS] Pivoting Mast Problem

[bchild at wireless.org.au]

HI Jason,

You say you have a 12mtr mast, is this mast 1 whole section or is it
multiple sections??

If it's multiple like u mentioned in a previous email mark out your 3 mtr
sections and then stand the base up, guy the bottom 3 mtrs, work out how
long ur guys need 2 be at roughly 12mtr and place guys on at the 6,9 &
12mtr marks raise the mast up and the guy the sections from the bottom up.

It would perhaps make things a little clearer if I knew what the mast
consisted of? ie is 1 whole piece is piece inside of another piece & so
on, or is just a couple of lengths all the same diameter joining together.
