We recently found out our 25 yr old feedlines have been broken and beat up
by the wind at about 700 ft.
Anybody got the background to provide a rough estimate for
climber costs to
string two runs of hard line to 1300 Ft and remove the old runs?
I am guessing the cost will mean the end of the line for this repeater but
need to let the club board know.
Back when we put these lines up, we could still use the elevator and climb
ourselves. These days we are all 25 yrs older, OSHA made the station
disconnect the elevator, and liability concerns means the station wouldn't
even remotely consider non professionals on the tower.
