The post below made me want to share one as well. This was last Tuesday's ROW staking before the deep freeze set in.

Derek,

So far I have been pleased with the performance of our Triumph 1's on this job. The trees have been more of an issue than the towers.

I did run into some problems on another job a couple of months ago where a corner fell under an H tower similar to the one to the right in the picture. The receiver would fall in and out of lock and you could hear the hum of the power in the lines above. In that situation offsets came in rather useful.

Thank you for your reply.

Our ZMax that works very well usually, does not seem to work under hydro transmission lines as it gives 'wonky' results.

Sometimes the best word to describe how we feel when it happens is what our daughter uses GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !

Cheers,

Derek
