tram line pulley:




I kind of got this on a whim but it's come in useful on a few occasions. Often the only practical way to get
an HF beam up on a tower is via tram line, since raising it up around guy wires can be a huge headache.
Sometimes these are marketed for use as a "zip line", but it's the same idea. Two ball-bearing pulleys mounted
on a strong frame, and safety-certified to boot. These can also snatch a rope, and require carabiners.

You might want to have two of these, one for each end.
