Antenna work

[Sberry]

I needed to re-do the mast for my TV antenna, I stick the crane boom up there to tie a saftey line to while I am horsing this thing around. The mast telescpoes for service somewhat but I took it apart and laid it on the roof and slid another pipe inside of the old one to strengthen the joint which was an EMT coupling. I was a little worried it would come apart in the wind.

Hmmmm, haven't seen one of those in like 20 years. Maybe it's time to get Satellite.

I put it in the wrong forum again,,, I would get a sat but didnt want to pay the bill,,, ha I should get a dual unit and bury a caple to the folks house and for 5$ a month xtra get use for 2 out of it wouldnt be bad, its about 400 ft though.

I was just about to say that... You can afford all those welders, huge shop, but no satellite.. Oh well, I guess I would rather a nice new welder than a couple years satellite TV...

Whos boom truck? Was that a Mack Midliner?

[Sberry]

Yes, its a midliner, I have posted it here before but there are a lot of new people all the time. I am going to service and paint the crane this winter, its the only thing I didnt fully service on the truck. We put another cab on it, did the whole deal, about 3 months to fix it right up.

i dont know which is better

having a dish on the roof and no TV in storms

or digital cable(what i have)

somtimes late ot night the cable will cut out for up to 10 minutes
and i have 1 cable line going into my house running 4 TVs and 6 computers

this slows down the load speed for the cable but i plan on getting a signal amp.
