[TowerTalk] Fwd: falling derrick" method

[Ed Stallman]

Hi Rick and tower talk, when I first heard of the Falling Darrick Method 
I searched the interweb and found all the info needed on Rick's (N6RK) 
web page .. I found Rick to be very knowledgeable and can apply his 
knowledge in the field . I also guyed at different intervals 30 / 45 / 
75 / and 90 FT and have very little vibration. Thanks for your help in 
the past and future.
