Balls of steel. Good work and a salute to those guys.

Thanks for the post, he had a few others linked as well. Good stuff but painful to watch some of the poor training and lack of proper tools.

Does anyone know where that is located?

Tower stamp on the back of the panel i believe said LR, which is little rock Arkansas.

Man is it windy, but thanks for the video!

[Bob Newhart]

nope!

Is it procedure to hook the panel to yourself? I'm figuring if the panel falls, I surely wouldn't want to go with it.

And that's only one of the things that was painful to watch.

The transfer of carabiner locks was killing me. I learned that you don't do that in 6th grade gym class. And why no automatic tools? Worried about over tightening?

No gin pole...flying a panel over someones back...the video of him trying to loosen a tower support bolt with channel locks(yeah right)..bending the hell out of the jumpers.. tearing up the jumpers. The list goes on and on. I really hope that was their first install as they questioned things on mounting even I would know.

 

Speaking of the automatic tools I never used them myself. I always brought up what I needed, and only what I needed, no heavy automatic tools and batteries. I didn't have the ability to have a ground crew sending stuff up though, had to bring up everything myself as I climbed alone most of the time.

No gin pole...

on this video

The publisher states "...the company who I will not name would not let us use a gin pole. I agree it would have made life a lot easier."

 

You make good points on everything.

No excuse for safety. Hit the road.. there are tons of companies that would hire him the same day to climb and install with the proper tools.

I don't know how y'all do it. More power to you. I don't think I'm afraid of heights. I think I'm afraid of falling.

Haven't done it in by years... Used to love to climb at night in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico.

"You only live once" 

That's exactly why I wouldn't do it. If life was like a video game with unlimited lives, I'd be up for all sorts of dangerous things.

Put some Sprint antennas on there

[MophoManners]

First video

 

At about 7:50 you can see the tower number written on the panel: LR54XC441

 

Whoever rigged that antenna and sent it up was a complete greenhand/tool.. 

 

Channny's are the TH's #1 tool on the tower 

 

No non autolocking beaners 

I didn't see anyone playing rough with the jumpers..( they are pretty tough if you know what you're doing)
