First let me say that GME never overstated or misstated the Hazer System. It meet all my expectations as to how it works. The statements made by GME have to be taken in context and applied in one's mind for the specific tower you are purchasing it for. Their advertising statements are in Blue Bold Print followed by my findings. These statements come off the GME web site. I am not an expert on towers, trams or cable lift systems but just the end user so your findings could be very different especially on different application uses.

The way I view advertising is, buyer beware. Statements can be made to fit several situations and the seller always wants to make his product look "best-in-class". So before I get myself in trouble, let me state all the advertising claims are true, just depending upon your prospective at the time.

Eliminates Tower Climbing! Could be true depending on your installation. Not so with my system because with the hazer at the lowest level I still have to use a step ladder to get above the hazer and climb the tower to service / install both beam antennas.

One should not imply never! However it would be very difficult to climb past/higher than the hazer and if a beam , say top beam was blown out of alignment with the bottom antenna, one would have to climb the tower to align the beams to allow them to clear the tower for lowering. However, that should never occur, right? What if the string broke going to the locking mechanism?

You can eliminate some of the tower climbing but not 100%.

Allows Easy Access to Antennas This is true. I can access my lower antennas from my 12 ft step ladder. The upper antenna from an extension ladder. Removing them is much easier now!

Easy Installation on Erected Tower This is true if your system allows you to stand on the ground but with my system the tram had to be installed right above the roof level using an extension ladders and the roof-top. It still was not a big deal. (I actually used my tractor's front end loader as a portable scaffold)

Universal mounting plate for most rotators. I found this to be true with my Hygain rotator. Alignment with the thrust bearing was a snap.

Best of all, you may access your antennas at any time you want. Maybe so, the limits are what is safe? Would not recommend working at night or during lightening storms, periods of high winds etc. (Note two guy wires must be remove until the antenna is lowered down) Anytime? Well we know what they meant by "any time".

The Hazer guarantees complete ease of mind and satisfaction. Are they saying 100%? These are advertising statements don't forget. What I have found is during operation periods of raising and lowering my antenna system I had complete confidence in the mechanical / design parameters employed by GME. Satisfaction is earned after many years of use without any failure.

A fifty foot tower will require only one set of guy wires in most cases This statement is found on the web page. I find no other data to tell me what cases require or don't require the second set of guy wires. I guess it is a gut feeling? GME needs to be more specific on this important detail. I very well might install another 'mid-way' guy wires for my system. (no big deal to climb 25 feet and disconnect)

We suggest putting these guys at the very top of the tower in the few inches just above the Hazer I did this using three guy wires above the hazer. I had doubts about this "few inches". What I have found, a very tight fit in order to secure the latch. I had to let out the guy wires slightly in order to get the elevation for the lock mechanism to spring into place before resting it on the horizontal support. So this is a good statement but requires some adjusting of cables.

They fail to tell the advantages of above the hazer or below for guying. I think the shopping customer should be given some data relating to this.

I was not impressed with the small metal strips that were to be used for guying to the bottom of the hazer however I am sure they work but GME seems to infer top-tower guying is best and I agree.

disconnect two guys by completely unscrewing the turnbuckles at the ground This is true and is even necessary for removing antennas from towers without the hazer system. This needs to be done early, before the antenna's are too hign and the guy wires too short to clear large / long booms.

Never worry about storms again! Easy for them to say! However you can feel better with the system cranked down versa up 50 ft. Even with the hazer cranked down, the only safe location for the antennas, rotator and tower is on the floor of the barn when the hurricane hits! (Then the barn is in danger)

Heavy-Duty Pulley Block They sell this but give no information on what is too heavy for the standard pulley. My system is rated at 200 lbs.

My over all rating of the advertising on the Web Page is good. They have tried to cover major items for the "perfect antenna system" and the reader must apply the data to his specific situation. The advertising does not take into account each installation and the reader will not be mislead if he studies the site and communicates via email. GME was very good at returning emails.
