1.I didn't take anything down from tower (1500 ft)to fix. You made a
false assumption when you tried to derail the elevator with me in it
or break the cables. A fall from 1000-1500 feet would have hurt (

You rode an *elevator* to fix a radio tower that was 1500 feet tall?

Dang, Big John -- they grow them towers big down by you guys...

I don't even see crossposts from alt.usenet.kooks. I wouldn't have
seen any of these if you hadn't quoted the entire post when spamming
the group with 29 copies of your top-posted three line complaint.

I wouldn't have even known you existed if i hadn't been for this poast.

Oh, and the ridiculous pics of you in the TRON outfit.

Jay/TronGuy made a lot of enemies here in TX before he left.

As I recall, he is a Mensa(?), smart as hell but don't know anything.

He put my life at risk one time here (had to call police) so don't
hold him in high esteem.

Yeeah. The Houston area is flat. Real flat. There aren't even hills around
there. To get good radio and TV coverage, they have to use tall towers.
There are something like 4 2000-foot towers close to each other on the
southwest side of town, and a couple of others elsewhere.

Naturally, you don't climb a 2000-foot tower to fix something. (Well, normal
people don't. I know one guy who climbs towers like you or I would walk out
to the mailbox. He's universally regarded with awe.) They put elevators on
them. The tower John's talking about is unusual, even as they go: it's got a
candelabra on top, and three TV antennas, one at each corner. There's a
platform between them with a 2-story, 25-foot-wide hexagonal building in the
middle. It's really pretty impressive, even if it is only 1500 feet tall.

Mainly folks who wanted to take over an organization that I'd put years of
my life into through underhanded means, and I stopped them from doing it.

Once upon a time, I was a member, but I dropped it many years ago.

Thanks for confirming that you are, indeed, John Callahan, KR5K.

FWIW (and I'm certain you don't believe me), all I wanted to do that day was
find out why you took my radio down without bothering to tell me you were
going to do so, and in direct violation of the principles of the
organization; I found out fourth-hand. I made no threats, and had no
intention of doing anything but talking. Yes, I was badly upset. That's all
it was, however. You took it for far more than it actually was. If you'd had
the courtesy to tell me you were taking my radio off the air, the whole
thing would have been avoided.

I used to say that I'd listen with respect to anything you said about
flying, based on your long experience, and ignore anything else. At least
once upon a time, you had some integrity.

Oh, and for those who might be reading this, the incident John is referring
to took place 25 years or so ago.

2. I did most of the repair of equipment on tower in those days.
3. Have followed Texas FM Society postings and you are a no no with
them. Threw a laptop at a lady in a meeting???? etc. I read their
postings and they still talk about you and your activities.

Nice looking bird you are getting. Listen to Dudley, and others who
have withstood the test of time and fly conservative and safe. If the
WX is bad, park the bird and go to bar and RON.

OT --- Did you get my e-mail about the air engine car? Seemed to be
meet your requirements. No reply.

Yep. It looks great! I hope it takes off...

WX in IA has been bad. Tornados, flooding, etc.
Don't go flying in that WX.

For sure. It's been awful here -- and now the Iowa River is flooding.
Evacuation orders have been given for folks just south of our hotel...

The one being discussed is taller than a normal traffic pattern.

Has been some posting here about radio interference flying around the
area where the FAA authorizes all the big TV towers south of town
(Houston).

Original comment was marked OT which you must have missed?

Car uses compressed air in four tanks under car. 65 mph and 125 mile
range. $2 for electricity to pump tanks back up. Unless you have wind
or solar power to run compressor.

Think the system could be put in a bird for short flights (hour
plus????)

Think the flying WX in IA is ok comment for RAP???

You'all have a nice week.
