[TowerTalk] Raising Towers

[Patrick Greenlee]

Hector, You can offer me advice anytime and I will gladly accept it in less 
than perfect English.  Since leaving San Diego my opportunity to speak 
Spanish (fairly poorly) has been seriously reduced and has deteriorated from 
bad to worse.

By the way, were you ever associated with Marine Electric either in San 
Diego or its Mexican offshoot?

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)
