Hi Gang.

Sometime in the distant past (in the 50's) my property was owned by a ham.
He put in two poles, six inch pipes 50 feet high and 170 feet apart, to
fly an antenna. They once had cables for hoisting the wire to the top,
much like a flagpole, but they have weathered and fallen. There are
pulleys at the top, and stanchions (where you tie the rope off) about
midway down the pole.

I need to do two things:

Get the ropes back in place, and
Lower the stanchions to a more usable level.

And I have no idea how to do the former. How do I get ropes back on those
pulleys? Are there flagpole-riggers who shimmy up the poles, or do I hire
some brave local kid to risk his neck in the attempt? I really want to get
a proper antenna up there, and don't mind paying someone who does this, I
just don't know who to call.

Get a firm that cuts down trees from the top using a cherry picker. In NH we
have such firms that have
105 foot cherry pickers for taking down very large trees. 50 feet out to be
a snap.
