[TowerTalk] tower common sense

[Greenacres113 at aol.com]

i agree with some of the tower thoughts.....but i climb towers after looking 
them over very well.

as to pros......i built my qth from the foundation up. the county ele. 
inspector was here 6 times before he passed me. he pulled open closet outlet boxes 
to see if i used grommets where the wire  went into flores. lights. he moved 
furnature too.
my  friend who is a local licensed electrician just shook his head in 
disbelief. each visit cost $$$$$ whether you passed or not. a year later 'pros'  
wired my neighbors house. 2 visits and they passed. unfortunately  my neighbor 
could go into 1 bedroom and turn on the  ceiling switch  and the ceiling light in 
the next room came on!! he could turn on bedroom #1 with #2s switch but that 
was a bit  inconveinent!
as  with anything safety first.but i'd climb a tower that a knowledgable ham 
put up as soon as a 'pro' one.
