[TowerTalk] Lightning Damage, Crane used to replace Orion Positioner

[Patrick Greenlee]

I'm in rural Oklahoma where there is no permit process for towers or 
most other things. If you don't conflict with FAA requirements you are 
good to go.  I insist all contractor work is equal or better than 
applicable code but that is my personal requirement. We are required to 
get septic systems registered/approved with the DEQ (Department of  
Environmental Quality) but that is it.  I have seen some real horror 
stories in plumbing and electrical work, often DIY.
