Re: [Repeater-Builder] FAA Paint Removal

Problem is high pressure washers will indeed remove everything depends how much you take off, question is is there a rust resistant coating that the manufacturer may intentionally put on?   what you may do is if its a chemical washer, like a degreaser it will take everything off, or even a hundred dollar store name brand 1,000 lbs will strip literally everything, I learned that at a Truck Dealership when I worked as Matienance person,  then you may have a rust problem, then it defeats the rust proofing.   Mark A.

This is going on my tower. It is a 140 foot length of Andrew 1 1/4" hardline. I have been very careful in the components used to avoid any "problems". The tower is Pirod as is all of the hardware. Lightning rod, "T" bars for the snap in hangers, etc. All grounding is #2 stranded with 3 ground rods per leg all tied together. All cables grounded. Polyphasers on all lines. Single point ground for the entire station. Just trying to save a few bucks on the transmission lines. Thanks for all the tips, Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yahoo!
