Hi Bryan.

Agreed.  There is little on the web and certain anecdotal information, 
while nice - isn't absolute.

Omega makes time pieces.  While they produce the only watch 
flight-qualified by NASA for manned space missions, I'm sure there may 
be others that could pass muster, given the time and money.

I'm glad you got your tower down.  I keep a come-a-long at the ready in 
the ham shack in the even I have a motor failure.  I haven't had to 
resort to it, but I'm ready for the day.


73,

That the US Navy approves it as the sole lube for aircraft carrier landing cables doesn't necessarily mean other lubes aren't capable of the same use, which isn't at all the use I intend.
