Hector, You can offer me advice anytime and I will gladly accept it in less
than perfect English. Since leaving San Diego my opportunity to speak
Spanish (fairly poorly) has been seriously reduced and has deteriorated from
bad to worse.
By the way, were you ever associated with Marine Electric either in San
Diego or its Mexican offshoot?

This is exactly an example of what is happening in the last months in the
reflector
CRITICIZE others post an not a positive output
I was pointing a few possible problems to show to others what can happen or
give another possibility
to do not put in risk life or property but what was the response?
supportive? destructive?
If this ham owns all AZ, not a close neighbor and his tower fall and kill
him , his dog or his wife and safety advice before can be good?
I was thinking this reflector was to HELP others to make good or right
things, to avoid problems
or save some time and money and keep them ALIVE not just to criticize with
no positive output
Criticize is good but giving a better result or to fix others wrong doing
My intention is not to start a war, just share my point and no intention to
offend others with my words, if for some reason are crude
possible is the result the spanish to english translation process in my
brain
but I try to share and help and give my opinion with the intention to help.

Some very interesting ideas, very ingenious and a lot to avoid
I got scare with his double braid rope as lanyard @200ft tower
Well, if you're raising it in your (big) backyard, and you're aware of the
risks, then you can use dental floss if you think it will work.
not FAA lights on 200ft towers?
That would be a problem.. Maybe his "200 foot" tower is actually 199 ft,
6", and exempt.
those bungee cords as insulators or for tension ?
I'm thinking some sort of shock absorption.
the anchor in the wash
no insulators in the guy wires.
if the guy doesn't happen to be "the wrong length", then there's no
particular reason for insulators (unless you're feeding the tower as the
radiator)
some good things to use and some ones to avoid from my point of view
be safe
