I like the clamp brackets on the lights. Never saw those before. I put lights on my ham tower for grins and giggles. It’s only 120 feet. My installation was waaaay better than that mess you took down. That was crap work somebody left behind.
@@dougtaylor7724 that’s how most of them go. I never posted the flash head install because of how much of a headache it was. The sector mount at the top of the tower was a mess and it was honestly hard to watch. I might get around to it someday but probably not
@@johnsmart3587 around 310’. I have a video of the top beacon installation but that one will probably never see TH-cam (lots of swearing and sketchy stuff) there were two cell carriers on top of the tower and it was a real pain in the butt to rig it. I ended up just carrying the flash head the last 50’ or so which was chaos due to the carrier equipment being in the way and me not having any room to move around.
@@johnsmart3587 I do, however, I won’t be for long. I had a back injury racing dirt bikes when I was younger and my hardware is starting to come undone causing intense back pain. I’m having surgery later this month and I’m afraid that’s probably going to be the end of my tower career. I have some more videos that I didn’t think were interesting enough to put on TH-cam. As far as joining this industry, there’s plenty of places hiring, just be careful because the cell side of this line of work is full of crappy employers and drug addicts. Luckily, those types of people are starting to thin out but a job in this industry isn’t hard to find. Especially if you’re willing to start at the bottom and work your way up. Most places will hire you on the spot as long as you can pass a drug test and are willing to travel. Other than that it’s a pretty fun job if your body can handle it. Ps. If you’re colorblind this probably isn’t good for you either

@@johnsmart3587 that’s my boss/foreman, he’s running the rope and installing the controller. As far as the hierarchy of towers, you have your greenhands (rookies usually responsible for all the things everyone else doesn’t want to do), tower hands (people with a little more experience in charge of handling most tower side tasks), top hands (basically the foreman but on the tower), and your foreman who is the head honcho on site, the foreman typically handles customer interaction/closeouts JHA’s and NTP’s (depending on who you work for) and the more advanced ground procedures

Really don't want to be seeing that guy wire unwinding itself ( 7:15) And dragging that rope up behind you is going to be really tiring.
Duct tape for the win....
Who is that at the bottom?
