[NCC] Tower Work

[Anthony Luscre]

Followup

I was able to utilize YESCO (http://www.yesco.com/) from Willoughby,
OH which usually services parking lot lights and signs.

Paul was able to access tower with 55' with his truck (it was a close fit
getting it into the backyard)
He replaced the pulley and steel cable.

It took less than 1.5 hours with a lot of the time getting the truck into
position as he laid down plywood to minimize damage to yard.
He was very intrigued by the antenna and had a lot of questions about the
tower.
I told him his company needed to get into tower servicing and he agreed.

I was very pleased with the service and would recommend them.

The newer cable from Glenmartin was thicker so I am glad I had ordered the
new pulley.
After 17 years in the air, the old pulley was still OK but starting to show
signs of wear.
I am putting it on my calendar to replace cable at 12 years!
Also next spring I will lower hazer and remove antennas so I can lay tower
down and check & tighten all bolts/nuts.
