>  We all know how hard it is to hire someone to do tower work. I just watched some tree service guys who, will pruning some trees for a ham friend, also installed some pulleys for antennas. Climbing towers is a whole lot easier and safer than climbing trees. There are tree services everywhere there are trees. Has anyone ever tried hiring one to do some non-technical tower work? Equipped with a radio and a helmet camera, I'd thing one could talk one of these guys through a lot of antenna work.     Well, that'd be the only way it might work IMO. Using a camera beats the heck out of trying to describe what you want done to someone who has no frame of reference or experience. I tried it a couple times (way before cameras) and the results were semi-satisfactory unfortunately. YMMV. Cheers,Steve    K7LXCTOWER TECH
