[TowerTalk] Cable Treatment Suggestions

[Joe Wilkowski]

Bill, sorry I have not been able to get to this for a couple of days.  I 
read your post below and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Anyway, I originally built this to lay electric fence underground for pet 
containment but found it to be very useful for other ham radio endeavors.  I 
have successfully laid countless thousands of feet of wire with this tool. 
Also, I have dug trenches for buried hardline and control cables with out a 
hitch.

Probably overkill for you but it may inspire a couple of ideas.
