Tower climber

[TJay74]

Who is the repeater for, the school or for personal use?

I work for OGE and we handle requests for the schools all of the tie, they are low priority since it is the trouble shooters that have to do the work in between jobs. To say OGE does nothing is not true, I just went out with a trouble man the other day on a ticket.

I have been thru lineman school and am certified to climb as well, like said it is not something to be taken lightly and not for the faint of heart. I had to help a kid down who locked up at 40' in my class, our instructor had to do the same for another person in the class as well.

The repeater is for Yukon Public Schools and will be used by the district themselves. Do you know who I would talk to at OGE?

Boss just emailed to say that we are going to pay the tower rats $2,000 to climb the 20 feet between the reach of our bucket truck and the top of the light pole.

Thanks for all the help.

Well, sucks for me.

Sorry about that but I was not informed until after the meeting and decision was made. I would prefer to give it to someone local rather than a company out of Dallas.

No worries.

$2000! Damn I am under paid! For 20 ft! Lord have mercy, you have another one I will give a 50% off deal and smile all the way home to mama.

Wow 18 months ago I climbed a 50 ft step pole and worked for an hour for $28. I think I could manage the extra 20 ft for $1972 even with the extra fat.

I need someone to climb a 70' light pole and install a repeater antenna. The vendor has quoted an exorbitant price to have this done.

I told you it was exorbitant in the original post.

The question I have is, who knows who? Does the school board or superintendent know this tower climber and gave em the payday gig.
