[TowerTalk] Tower Problems

[Michael Goins]

Wish that would work here. I'm nearly all solid rock. I have a hole started,
but through rock and many days of jackhammering, which is tough at 61. I
have a big (as in VW sized big) rock in the hole that I am chipping away at,
but I need someone who either can drill holes for the ends of the cage to
drop into after cutting the bottom brace off (and then re-weld it back on
about 10" higher), or who can help me get down about another 2-2-1/2 feet or
so.

Getting really frustrated here. Haven't had a tower and decent directional
antenna up since the 80's and really want to get this up and operational.
