    Hodgey, yes needed to get the reach into the centre of the building, had transformers on the ground that we could not lift over without shutting them down, so went with a lift plan for the extended fly and the crane guys were fantastic as usual, spectacular in fact. I was on the roof with the doggie and when the load stopped, it was 'bouncing about 25mm - just nice and slow but understandable that the spring was there. Luckily wind was circa 3klm/hr and at first light, removed the old coil and slotted the new one in.

    Yay!

    After 5 years of blaming my cheap Pioneer radio for the interference it was causing on my CB I finally found the real culprit.

    The new Icom 450 went in today after we had found the source of the interference, replacing the failed POS Uniden unit.

    The bloke doing the install didn't sound at all confident about finding the source of the interference & if it had been the Pioneer unit I was going to replace it with a GME FM radio he had in stock.

    After disconnecting the Pioneer completely from power the interference was still present - not guilty yer honour.

    All the young bloke did was to move around with a handheld CB to see if the volume of the interference changed/increased .... & quickly determined the source of the noise was inside the cab. Just a matter then of disconnecting things until the interference ceased.

    Lo & Behold - disconnect the rear view monitor & the loud Shhcrchhhhhhhh changed instantly to silence. Woohoo.

    Over the years I have talked to many folk about the possible causes of the interference which rendered the Uniden pretty much unusable, including ham radio experts with diagnostic gear & all it took was a young fella with enthusiasm & a hand held CB!

    The Icom, with a speaker in the handpiece + an extension speaker next to my right ear is clear as a bell. I wont be using it except when we are travelling, & when travelling the rear view monitor only shows the front of the Tvan & is easy to connect/disconnect so all good. I may eventually try to find an interference free monitor but can get by with it as it is with no hardship.

    I'm glad that POS Uniden died. (If there are any masochistic electronics tragics who might have a use for a CB with a non functional display let me know before it goes in the bin).

    Seems like weather was on your side.
    Boom flex effect is always there, you'll always get some bounce no matter how slow the rope motor brake is.
    If you ever get a chance stand directly behind crane inline with the boom and have a look up along the boom, it's amazing how much banana effect there is on a boom extended that far. Even without a load.

    Up on the towers, we usually see the very tip of the boom, fairly close above our heads. And quiet often you see the boom sway left/right or up down depending on load, and you think , why is he pulling joysticks even hes meant to be stopped. But it's just the boom flex effect, sometimes takes a while to settle.

    Shes a beauty!! It's impressive seeing it setup, let alone seeing her do some work.

    Here's a tower lift, with the identical crane, just a different job setup.
