Just for the record, at K3ZO:
W3MC does the emergency antenna work and routine antenna maintenance.
KC1XX & Co. do the major antenna work. K3ZO does not and has never
climbed, though in earlier years
I did assemble the new antennas on the ground before somebody else put
them up. I don't even do that any more, though I still "supervise."
As for equipment, I have spare transceivers and amplifiers. If one goes
out I replace it with another while N6CZG, a professional electrical
engineer who rents my basement apartment, repairs the piece of equipment
which has just gone bad while I continue to operate the contest. This
piece of gear then becomes the backup for the spare that I have pressed
into service.
If anyone wants to invent a new category that will fit me, I will gladly
change to that category and continue to have fun in the contests. Until
then, I will continue to operate SOHP.
73, Fred
