I know what you mean.  I had a flight instructor think I was an idiot during 
autorotation practice in a helicopter.  From my point of view I took the rotor 
speed right up to the red line.  But since he was in the left seat parallax 
error made it look like I was overspeeding the rotor and he would violently 
punch the cyclic forward each time.  

Many years ago and I still wake up mad about it.  I kinda hope I run into him 
in a Starbucks someday, him taking orders behind the counter...

Yeah, it happened 25 years ago and it still pisses off.

  Somebody oughtta go to prison for a thing like that... although union hall

    I think that would be a good case for RICO.  Perhaps get some kind of 
prosecutor to attempt to raise hell with the union.  
    Funny, union hall might catch fire too...

    Darn, ( using polite word ) I have friends that would stack again and sit 
by, armed, just looking for the opportunity to "discuss"...   That pissed off 
about private property trespassing out here in NV...

      I think it was Wisconsin in winter where we stacked a 485 foot tower. 
Next day we came to the site to finish cleanup and it had been cut down. They 
were kind enough to leave a sign on the fence as to which union local we should 
contact if we wanted to build it again. Thugs. The moral of the story, Hire at 
least one union guy in a union state.

        I would recommend joining the largest Facebook tower industry specific 
groups (search groups for tower climbing, tower, etc). There's about four of 
them that are really active, and between the groups probably 30,000 members in 
total. Put out a message that you're looking for a contractor and see what you 
get back.

          I am looking for someone to stack two Rohn 65 towers in Northern WI. 
Towers are 140’ and the site will be completely prepped ahead of time. Concrete 
work will all be done and the towers will be on site waiting. We have talked to 
one company from Lower WI so far but they are doing a lot of large cellular 
constructions this summer and priced these two in a similar range. I took the 
quotes as they didn’t want to be doing these small of jobs.  

          If anyone knows of someone of if anyone on the list is interested in 
this they can hit me off list for more details. If you are out of the area and 
willing to travel up give me a shout as well might be able to make it work. 



          Thanks,

          Brandon
