*HAZER 4 Construction Photos and Comments

 

During the winter of 2007, I purchased the Hazer 4 system from Glen Martin Industries. I wanted to be able to raise and lower my antenna on a regular basis. The huge expense of purchasing and then having a crank up tower delivered to my remote location was too costly for my budget. So, after some hesitation when reading the reviews of this product, I purchased it. The friendly folks at Glen Martin were able to meet my shipping requirements and before long, I had an extremely heavy box waiting for me at the local Post Office. After reading the manual for putting the Hazer together, I realized that I was in for a challenge. So, I photographed my progress for future reference and also for documenting problem areas should I move or need to take the Hazer down. The following photos belong to the author.
