Raising the 75 foot amatuer radio antenna tower

how much wind can those outriggers take with that antenna ?

Was the crew boss off napping somewhere? from the camera angle that one duded looked to be being pretty close to being under the load when the tower was being raised to vertical. I doubt the trailer headache rack the tower rests on would be of much help if the line would have broken Maybe the dude was the crew boss? they can B that way. Nice trailer & tower outfit though Probably all kinds of goodies inside the enclosed trailer as well.
