[TowerTalk] Raising Towers

[Hector Garcia,XE2K]

This is exactly an example of what is happening in the last months in the reflector
CRITICIZE others post an not a positive output

I was pointing a few possible problems to show to others what can happen or give another possibility
to do not put in risk life or property  but what was the response? supportive?  destructive?

If this ham  owns all AZ, not a close neighbor  and his tower fall and kill him , his  dog or his wife and safety advice  before  can be good?

I was thinking this reflector was  to HELP others to make good or right things, to avoid problems
or save some time and money and keep them ALIVE  not just  to criticize with no positive output
Criticize is good but giving a better result or to fix others wrong doing

My intention is not to start a war, just share my point and no intention to offend others with my words, if for some reason  are crude
possible is the result the spanish to english translation process in my brain   
but I try to share and help and give my opinion with the intention to help.

Well, if you're raising it in your (big) backyard, and you're aware of the risks, then you can use dental floss if you think it will work.

That would be a problem..  Maybe his "200 foot" tower is actually 199 ft, 6", and exempt.

I'm thinking some sort of shock absorption.

if the guy doesn't happen to be "the wrong length", then there's no particular reason for insulators (unless you're feeding the tower as the radiator)
