    Good luck, these projects can take years.:roll:

    In the time John's been talking about doing this, I could have easily erected a 100' tower (the government of the Islets of Langerhans is easy on ham radio ops), including shipping time from the factory, the permitting process and digging the foundation hole.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Well George, these jobs take proper planning. That can take many years... Now I have to put the slingshot through extensive safety, reliability, and effectiveness training before I can approve it's use for the actual job. ;)
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
