Jim,
Appreciate your comments, however, what I have recently learned is that
those buddies are indeed buddies until a XYL doesn't have one of them
around anymore.
Some of the helpers will be complete strangers to me. Do I know there
capabilities, answer is no, there physical well being, NO I don't know.
I probably would be better off dropping the tower / antenna and hauling
it off to the junk yard but I thought maybe the club could use it. They
are excited about getting the 40' tower, tribander and two Ham-V's in
return for the help. All in good shape. Use it every day.
I know that with proper planning, experience and supervision about 99%
of the risk is avoid but the 1% unknown is what frightens me.
