[TowerTalk] Erecting tower sections solo

[Kevin Kidd]

This reminds me of a local fly-by-night tower guy that built an FM
broadcast tower for a former client.  He enlisted his elderly semi-deaf
father to drive a small truck to lift the Rohn 55 tower sections.  At some
point, his geriatric father got confused as he was screaming on the radio,
"WOW" and thought that he was screaming "go"...

And ended up with 3 or 4 fingers on one hand all mangled up when they
followed the rope thru (or partially thru) a pulley.
