[ARRL-OK] Tower help??????

[Patrick Greenlee]

Mac, I sent email to some OKC area ham clubs asking for assistance in 
locating someone to help me erect a tower.  I expressed desire to hire a 
tower dog or if a club took it on as a project I could enrich their 
club's coffers.

I got no response.  Previously I asked for recommendations on the 
trading email reflector and got one nibble who asked a couple questions 
and went silent.

Previously I had asked for recommendations and got one, an actual tower 
dog who works cell sites.  He came, talked, looked, and disappeared. 
Subsequent contacts did not cause a work party to materialize.

The tower is a new Tashjian DX70 that is about 23 ft long when collapsed 
and weighs about 2300 lbs.  I can easily rent something that can lift 
more than 2500 lbs over 25 ft in the air but I can't operate it and put 
in the bolts at the same time. Safety demands a minimum of 2 people.

  I heed help.
