[BC] TX shacks......horror stories

[Gary Glaenzer]

that reminds me..........a 2-way installation at a quarry west of Hannibal,
MO

'shack' was on a huge pile of rocks with about 30 ft of Rohn 45G, the
'shack' was one of those steel explosive storage huts, looks like a short
silo with 1/2" steel walls

SOP was to get there, spray a couple cans of Rust Buster on the hinges, then
wait a few minutes, one of us would pry the door open while the other stood
by with a can of D-Con Wasp Blaster in each hand
