Anyone out there using a Hazer on their tower? Would appreciate any information or input on this idea. Thanks Tim

All I can add are just more questions.
Checking the hazer idea out on a couple of videos on YouTube, I noticed in several videos with the hazer all the way down, there were birds nest of coax, all tangled up. That did not look good to me. The coax management looks problematic on the way up or down.
I see the ads suggesting how simple and straight forward this idea works, but nobody in the videos demonstrated raising their antenna. That is what I would like to see. Some scary stuff below.
I also wonder about the hazer binding-up even in a slight wind.

The coax issue is one thing that crossed my mind as well. Where i live a fold over tower would really not be feasible so i was thinking about going this route. Done got too old to climb this stuff any more.
The Hazer works fine, I had one on my tower when I lived in a different house, now its in the garage. Yes, the coax is an issue, I just let mine hang, while it was not the best option it never caused an issue. If I knew a big storm or wind was coming I just lowered it. I did eventually replace this set with a fold-over/crank up tower.
I dont have the room to do a fold over tower unless i break it in the middle or cut my height way down to tilt at the base so the hazer looks like good option unless someone knows better lol

The ROHN fold in the middle towers work great.They may have a couple of sections added as well if you want or need to do so.I had one but sold it to my neighbor because I already had my ROHN 25 in the air with (4) yagi antennas on it & I was not taking it all back down.
