That is amazing, like you say.

Now that you mention it, I see no other way to do it. So I guess I will quit my
bellyaching about doing just that out in an open field pulling up 4 ten foot
sections after the first base 10 feet is mounted and guyed.

How did you secure a step ladder on the peak of a roof?

How the heck did those TV crews of yesteryear erect 40+ foot
telescoping antenna masts sitting atop pointed roofs? Its not
exactly like you can set up a step ladder on such a roof to
get up the first 10 foot to pull up the rest of the sections.

That's exactly what we did! When you are
young and fearless and believe in your
personal immortality, it's amazing what
you can do ;-)
