This will also help stabilize the load from starting to swing when being lowered into place, as it acts like an anchor, and is making the job for the pilot a lot easier. You can see this from the gopro video how the antenna is offset to target, then it slides sideways in, then twists ("the pilot" align the holes
) as the antenna makes contact.
Bksmithca,
If you know this type of work and look for details as someone doing this type work, you see it quite easily.
Cheers
Here is another antenna job in the UK that clearly shows the use of 2 guide wires, also helps to make sure nobody gets their fingers chopped off!
