Please reread what I wrote. If there is a backup system in place then this
comms officer HAS done the job. Damn I hate it when people do not
read/listen to what is being said and go off in a whole other direction!

If the backup system is in place then time is on your side. Seems like the
company knows this too but I have no idea why they would drag their feet.
Seems like the perfect way to kill a company. Why not enlist the help of
some local ham operators and exchange labor for repeater/antenna space? I
bet with all the horizontal Rohn 25 guarding Americas back yard weeds there
are 5 sticks to be had for little $.

There is a system in place but it just seems odd that the 2 way radio
company came the same week - actually 2 days later of the problem being
found and called in - to view the damage and to place the order for a new
tower and see what else may need done, and here almost a month later, it's
not done. The Comms officer isn't at fault there, it is the company who is
doing the damned job. They are only one of a couple in the area that can
do
it. I doubt they'll be called upon "first" again for anything. They "were"
a
reputable company utilized by many agencies but it seems their work is
going
to crap. Time to start shopping for a new 2 way Comms company. What is
worse, is they've given different answers as to a date for completion. A
couple days, a week to - who knows? Not very reliable answers. This isn't
a
100 or more foot tower we're talking. Just a lousy 40' tower. Most
places -
I thought - stocked them, at least at one time. They were standard for
hams,
cber's, tv antennas. I can't wait to see how it all ends. The Comms
officer
called the problem in immediately to the place they've always utilized. He
could not have foreseen this problem, for it to have been his fault. And
he
has called once a week for updates.

Could be any of those reasons. Does this Pubic safety agency have a
sound
backup until this is installed? If not I'd be looking for a new comms
officer! Depending on where you live overcoming a 40' rise over average
terrain is not any big deal. Is there a mountaintop within a few miles?

If one were to order a tower, lets say 40' for use in a 2 way radio
situation, how long should it take from the time you place the order to
the
time you get it? I know a place who's tower blew over (it was old too)
and
a
replacement was ordered the same week. Almost a month later, they're
still
waiting for the 2 way radio company to deliver and replace. This is a
public
service agency which depends on their communications. Seems odd, the
company
doing the work seems to be putting them off. Or is it whoever they're
ordering from, sucks with supplying? Just curious.
