Butch,

I think you missed the most important point of the 'subject line...

Rick was asking for 'GOOD' tower climbers... Hehe
I too believe that he has mastered 'Johnny - rigging' :-)

 JohnnyO is likely to be good at creating custom solutions. :-)  I
 heard he's doing a LOT of tower work lately.  He called me (from New
 Mexico) a couple weeks ago to look in on his network.  My
 understanding is that he is dropping AND raising towers.  Likely
 that he has a good bit of tower on the ground, too.

Subject: [WISPA] Good Tower Climbers / Installers Needed


I have equipment that I need installed on about 20 towers throughout 
Central Michigan and Northeast Wisconsin.  We have one tower company that 
we really, really like, but they are booked up solid for months (we've 
already waited a month in hopes something would open up, but no luck). 
Does anyone have recommendations?  I have 6 new towers where 5.7 GHz 
backhauls and 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz APs need to be installed, and 14 towers 
needing augmenting, where new 900 MHz APs need to be installs.  The 900 MHz 
antennas we are using are MTi Horizontally-polarized Omnis, which are 
pretty big (at least compared to anything we've used before).


Ideally, a company that can fabricate mounts on-site (which our preferred 
company, St. Paul Tower, does) would be ideal, as we are installing on 
towers, as well as water towers, grain elevators, and smokestacks.


All recommendations are very welcome.  My contact info for any tower 
people on this list is mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and phone 
989-837-3790 ext 151.


My apologies if solicitations of this nature are inappropriate for this 
list.


Thanks,

I'm always available in Michigan.  I wouldn't want to head a crew but I 
have a set of hands and a harness.  :)  So depending on what you scab up 
for a crew I might just fit the bill.

2006-10-17 Thread Rick Smith
Hey Dave,

I don't know how much people know about what's goin on in JohnnyO's life
these days,
but he's completely switched himself around to tower crew mode.   He's got
all the gear,
all the people, and all the time in the world to be doin cross-country trips
to install
stuff for WISPs, at a good price, and a good clip.

As for manufacturing mounts on-site, I don't think there's any other way
with Johnny. I'd
hire him in a second to raise a tower of any height.

I'd love to pitch in - even in the design, etc...  I live in NJ, but could
make my way 
to MI as I've been looking at movin out that way lately.I've got about
20 vertical
miles on my legs, it seems :)
