[TowerTalk] Painting Guy Wires?

[Ed K0KL]

It seems to me unless you can get there easily, maybe I wouldn't want to 
try.
We had a 1200' tower guys repainted using pressure impregnating paint 
equipment.
Not for the faint hearted. Used zinc based paint I think 62# for 5 
gallons, long time ago.
Mind you these were pros, but I don't think I would try a bosun's chair 
an winch to do this job.

73!
