Brilliant and funny as always guys

[@HammerMissions]

Thank you Paul! We aim to release a pod every week! If you would like any specific topics covered, please do let us know :)

Great info.. would Thermal assist in discovering 'flaws' and be of value as a deliverable?

[@HammerMissions]

Depends on the application! We typically see visual cameras being employed to check antennas angles. Similarly, if the application requires a heat signature to understand if the cell tower component is working correctly, then thermal cameras can be a great choice! It's all about using the right tool for the right job. Good luck!

Hello guys. In order to stand out and get my first job I have 2 questions.
1- what do recommend me to get as my first certification?? Infrared Thermography , gas thermography or general inspection, etc?
2 - which software I should study??
AWESOME CONVERSATION 🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@HammerMissions]

Hi Steven, thanks for the question!
1 - It depends on what your clients are looking for, what you would most enjoy doing and where you can add most value from your past experience!
2 - We think it's better to develop strong principles, then the software is merely a tool! Some of our resources which might be helpful:
