Repairing Another PC-324 Lighting System
I ascend a 340' guyed tower and replace some parts inside a Flash Technologies PC-324 Xenon Lighting System. The climb was a textbook easy climb as well as the repair. After the first turn-on prior to the repair, I noticed something was not right in the way it was flashing and under further examination I found a wire in the white side of the light that leads to the red side to be corroded and not making a good connection; something I overlooked when I replaced the white tube. I forgot to turn the camera back on but what I did to fix it was just strip the wire back and add a new terminal, after that repair, the system worked flawlessly. And for all you naysayers from the last video, you will be pleased to know I brought all the tools I knew I would need.

Climbing a tower that is not meant to be climbed, and putting a new light on it!
มุมมอง 103K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
I climb my first-ever “monopine” and replace an Obsta LED beacon with a Drake one. This tower put me to the test and I have to say I enjoyed the challenge. This site is located in Madison Mississippi in a very nice neighborhood. And no, I am not paying for power director, ignore the watermark. If you actually watched the whole thing and read the description, thanks!

    Hates his job, hates his life, hmm that must suck. Not sure you hate these things. But you could change it around the way you want it. Im sorry that you have to do this job and you hate it you could get a job you like just by looking for what you would like. I drive a forklift around and i dont make a lot. But i enjoy what i do and enjoy my life as well. I wouldnt mind have an easyer job that pays more but i feel us men should work hard and shouldnt complain to much cause we have everything a lot of people dont.

    Making a tower appear 2 be a tree from the ground wonder why with the fake branches over 100 feet higher than t the surrounding tree canopy y ? ,actually I don't its camouflage hidden in plain sight nice climb though. Hope that tower of doom was not energized which I am sure it was and active when you did the replacement just a thought good people. The steel rope on the way up yep helps but on the way down saving grace and yes a rope 2 take the dud reflector back down I heard you. Decent even after all the climb and energy expended be easier than the assent most times and yes that was a bitch indeed thanks for sharing. 2 have 2 do that many safety tag points I noticed them would you take on that job again , I wouldn't again thanks for taking me along no free climbing which was and maybe still is in the industry ,wise man indeed.. I digress its been pointed out 2 me.

    Shame you didn't actually get any video of the tower from the ground showing how high it was, or panorama from the top! A video of you climbing up the unclimbable?? tower which actually looks quite comfortable to climb given you seem to be quite safely inside all of the artificial tree branches! And you're permanently clipped onto the wire inertia line unlike free climbing other towers totally exposed! So not sure what's supposed to be so difficult about this particular climb!?

    That tree, which was so many dozens of times taller than any tree in the meadow, was engineered to kill people like you and passing pilots. An arborist might have run that crown and all of your tool haul up and down a ridge-line on a pulley, and it might have been safer and less grueling. I guess it's not always easy to find a good enough ground-guy.

    I like how the tower that isn't meant to be climbed has climbing bolts right there in a convenient arrangement for climbing.

    • @randythomas3478
      @randythomas3478 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you'll look, on the fake limbs where two bolts are thru the rungs, you'll see they extend thru the climbing rungs and stick out about the or more inches. These present a climber with a real danger as their boots are moving upwards! Just one added danger!

    When the North Sea oil boom was on, I had to clome a mast of an experimental catamaran tug to repair a radar that gave a very accurate range measurement for survey position fixing. The first time I ever climbed a height took ages to get up and froze and took ages to come down. It was a very calm North Sea at the time, like a duck pond, as flst as mirror, very spookey. At least it was clear of the stupid tree like branches. Rather you than me. Thank's for the video.
