[TowerTalk] US Tower Motor Winch in Winter

[Dick Flanagan]

It is very windy and dusty here.  I would worry the entire greased
surface would be quickly coated with abrasive grit!  I need to think
about that one.  Perhaps someone else on the reflector can shed some
light on this aspect.

Needless to say, Steve, I really appreciate your help with this problem.

73, Dick
