The sort of vibration that rope helps to reduce is not something you can see. It is a high frequency vibration, not a wiggling in the breeze. You might effect the lower frequency vibration or bouncin
Well, I watched off and on all day. The resolution is so poor that I thought I could make out a couple of people far in the distance at one time, but never did see any activity. Maybe it all happened
Since no one else has put it here yet, I'll go ahead. My friend and fellow TT reader sent me notice this morning that Nebraska has had yet another tower failure overnight. The 1360' KETV tower in Oma
Bill (K9RZ) has allowed posting of his picture shot this morning as he went by the KETV site. Further news given on WOWT's newscast says their adjacent tower is damaged. They've evacuated their trans
You waited too long. I pulled it last night. I only meant to leave it up for a short period, so as to not push my account too much. I'll put it up for another day. Gary -- a g 0 n at a r r l dot n e

I haven't tried the No-Alox kind of thing on them, but they do well if you fill each socket hole with silicon grease before plugging the two halves together. Be generous. Otherwise, you'll probably d
That's what I thought they were talking about. I don't see a need for them. You're just doubling the number of mechanical connections by adding them in series with the other connector. Or was the ref
You'd be surprised how many people on this list post messages with the same word swap. I don't know if they know the difference or not. As many times as it happens, I doubt it. gm -- a g 0 n at a r r
I've heard several light mentions of, and even saw a picture on someone's web site recently of, several people carrying a crankup tower by hand. I cringed when I saw that picture and feel I must brin
Slightly related: We had an incident a few years ago with a crew using UHF radios, and I think they even had PL. The problem was they were heard by a winch operator at another site a couple hundred m
