Of course, there's those types who just love being shouted at
by SSTV operators ("This is OUR frequency - no contest! no contest!
SSTV! [etc., etc.]") .... just what you get at 14230 !

Hello VHF contestants:
The KB3PW/RC rover will be active in the following
grid squares:
FN13, FN12, FN02, FN03,
EN92, EN93, EN94, FN04,
FN14, FN24, FN23, FN22
most likely in this order.
We have all bands + light and both narrow and WB 10GHz.
The biggest unknown: How the 30 foot crank-up tower will
play with the OPP and customs.
GL to all,
Bill Rogers, KA2CKI

For winch advice, you might try W7RM, who uses a winch and also K3LYW,
U.S. Tower Service, Frederick, Maryland, or East Coast Antenna Service,
Rockville, Maryland. I know the last two phone numbers are available from
telephone information. All use power winches to raise towers and antennas.

Is there a place where I can download the exchange table used for
the ANARTS contest this weekend? It's probably to late to mail off
a request to the contest manager and I don't have a copy of the
RTTY contest guide.

Subject: AI7B and power assisted tower climbing
Message-ID: <199506061528.JAA28038@teal.csn.net>
Couldn't resist responding to your request for info on power assisted tower
climbing, with a story told to me by Paul Bittner, W0AIH. Seems that Paul
hated to waste the time climbing up and down his 200 ft 40M tower and decided
to clip onto the haul rope he was using. He said that he had a young fellow
that was helping him and asked the unnamed assistant to drive the pickup to
raise him the 200 ft. The pickup took off at a pretty good clip and Paul was
rising so fast that he was afraid that he might catch an arm or a leg on the
tower so he just concentrated on trying to keep as far away from the tower
as possible. But somehow Paul's belt or a tool attachment hung up on the
tower about half way up and the nylon rope began to stretch as Paul yelled
for the truck to stop--but to no avail. Finally the stretching rope would
not be denied and whatever had caught on the tower broke loose and Paul
shot straight up like a reverse bungee jumper. Fortunately he suffered no
ill effects, something I attribute to the fact that he is REVEREND Paul
Bittner and has a little better propagation path for his prayers.
Paul did not seem to be put off too much by his experience and subsequently
built a winch that his wife could operate so that he could have her raise
him in a more controlled fashion.
Would I ever do something like this--not on your (I guess it is MY) life. I
purchased on a GSA auction a few years ago a couple of towers, the larger one
being a 320ft Rohn C. Unfortunately I broke my elbow playing soft ball
before I could take them down and had to hire a crew to do the job. They
used 40 ft of Rohn 25 for the gin pole and the two guys would ride the
gin pole up to the 320ft level to begin work. I just don't think I am ready
to try something like this, yet, or ever. (One of the two workers who rode
the tower was subsequently recruited and hired by me to be a field
engineer for my previous company--the other worker subsequently died in a
fall from a TV tower. Accidents do happen--even to the professionals. So
my advice would be against doing anything beyond your capabilities.)
Good Luck! John W0UN broz@csn.org

Subject: Fieldhunter´s list, 1.8 to 10 MHz
Message-ID: <199506061534.RAA14152@ekgserv.pts.se>
In connection with the World Wide Grid Contest this coming weekend,
10 to 11 June, I thought I would spread the latest edition of the
Fieldhunter´s list on this media. Consider the list as a continued
contest.
The Fieldhunter´s list shows WORKED fields (not squares) according
to the Maidenhead locator system. A field is a block of 20 degrees
(longitude) by 10 degrees (latitude). Rules and further information
follow after the list. We welcome your comments and contribution to
the list.
The columns show:
Position on list. Callsign. The own field. Number of fields worked.
Date (YYMMDD) for last update.
* * 1.8 / 3.5 / 7 / 10 MHz * * Standings as of 31 March 1995
