I remember the help I had putting up my duel band antenna, the guy was
working at the time and it took us 24 hours to do it because he kept getting
called to work for stuff, we were supposed to have another person help too
but he never showed up and that's worse, I had to pull the coax in for the
night and get up about 5 the next morning and run it back out because had I
left it some one would have tripped over it for sure and I didn't put the
last PL-259 on to connect it to the radio until late the 2nd afternoon
because I had something to do right after he left.

Rich,

Glad you got things nailed down before the big snow falls.  Yep, help ain't
what it used to be.  In fact, sometimes it ain't at all.  I've been a ham
for just about 40 years, hard to believe, and the hobby certainly has
changed in the area of hams helping hams.  I wish the bands were better.  If
they were, it would make antenna work a lot more fun.
