Most of us the operate WISPs would know that there are a bunch of things wrong in that video. No hard hats. No safety lines. No guy wires. Really hard to believe this is for a WISP. Maybe property owner so he can get service?

Anyone know about where this is located?

After the tower was finally "up", I didn't notice any guy wires

install them? (grin)
I asked about that on the forum I found this and so far no answer has
been posted.  The tower is for wireless internet so they may believe (or
have been told) no guys are needed.  Still, that looks like a bare tower
and *somebody* will be climbing it to install equipment.  Shudder.

Per the thread the pilot is the video poster's uncle who last flew
"sling loads" in Alaska in the late '70s.  Apparently, it is the uncle's
privately owned copter.  The poster was going to use a crane but the unc
persuaded him do the sling load.
