    I used to have to climb the mast on an aircraft carrier to replace bulbs and check electrical connections. I would say that was about the max I could do. Hats off to these guys. Kudos.

    When I was a senior in high school (1975) the football coaches gave me an 8mm movie camera and told me to climb the light tower at our HS stadium to film games. I did because I was “bulletproof!” No safety equipment or anything. Imagine if they even joked about asking a kid to do that today….career shot, criminal charges and jail time for sure.

    And whoever was up there why wouldn't they just twist the pole around to where the pegs were facing inward not outward

  • @jasonhunter2611
    @jasonhunter2611 2 месяца назад

    And for two why wouldn't you point the freaking steps that you go up towards the inside of the antenna instead of walking on the outside of it it seemed like it just meant to be so extreme definitely the dumbest design I've ever seen

  • @jasonhunter2611
    @jasonhunter2611 2 месяца назад

    One question why the hell would you make a slippery ass fiberglass stick to climb up knowing that thing doesn't have much to hold on to I know there's going to be a better design out there than this this is way too sketchy

    35 years in the Merchant Navy and I learned that with vertically bolted flanges, the bolts go down - head uppermost, nut on the bottom - always. The reason? - water flows downwards - if the nut is on the bottom, the threads stay dry - if the nut is on the top, water will work its way into the threads and rot them -and your nut and bolt becomes useless.

    Watching tower climb videos I always wonder about the poor placement of the handles. Not sure of the correct term. Watching tower build videos it seems they just plonk the parts down and bolt as fast as possible. Does this explain why the rungs/handles are in odd places? On this one for example you’d approach that antenna from the inside but the rungs are outside.
