Hi guys.
I have appreciated the fun with the name for wench and winch - with winch
being the correct term.
I have been asked to make a presentation to the local club, and submit the
write-up to a club newsletter - and yes - it is an indication that many are
hard-up for presentations and news - but I would appreciate any feedback
associated with the correct way to recover from a winch failure with the
tower raised.
I will include the definition of wench and winch, I think they will enjoy
the humor at the club - doubt it would play in the newsletter. At least now
I wont be making that particular spelling or typing error. But in addition
to the word definition does anyone have comments that I should consider as I
prepare the presentation and article?
Again, as said before, all comments and feedback appreciated.
Terry - W6LMJ
