Got a question for crank-up owners:
Do you crank up your towers only when you are operating, i.e. 95% of the
time they are nested and only go up when you turn on the rig and start
looking for a qso, or....
Do you mostly leave them cranked all the way up and only nest them when
leaving town for a few days, or when wx threatens such as high winds and/or
lightning?
I'm trying to get an idea of what these things are built to do: Lots of
cranking up and down, or extension and retraction only meant to be done once
in a while.
Oh yeah one other thing for you guys in the North: Do you have to do
anything special to operate them in the winter--do they need any TLC with
snow and ice or low temp.?
tnx,
rob / k5uj
