Yes, most likely a dead radio... assuming it's decent cable, that is. ________________________________ From: Af [af-boun...@afmug.com] on behalf of Josh Luthman via Af [af@afmug.com] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 2:11 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] wind speed cut off for climbing
If it's Ubnt it's probably a dead radio. Probably 1/100000 chance the cable shorted.

I don't think there's any way to tell from the ground. It is a lot harder to make that decision when someone else is doing the climbing... I wouldn't ask anyone to go up in weather I wouldn't climb in myself, but then again, I've also climbed in weather I wouldn't tell someone else to go up in. I don't think there really is a good rule of thumb, a lot depends on what the climber is comfortable with, and experience. ________________________________ From: Af [af-boun...@afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com>] on behalf of Josh Luthman via Af [af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com>] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 12:08 PM To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] wind speed cut off for climbing The radio is pulling too much current. Probably it is an overload/short. It will fade out and then come on full brightness. This was the green LED and may not exist with the LED anymore, especially since it's a different type of LED.

Might need additional ground crew and taglines, maybe a second climber. When you say new climber, how new? What kind of training/certification? Ultimately you are depending on the climber to call it off if it’s not safe, and a newbie might not have the experience to know when it’s not safe. If you’re talking about today, at least it’s been way above freezing the past 2 days, so the likelihood of rain freezing to the tower should be minimized. Also, how high are you sending him? Big difference between 100 and 300 feet.
