Something new for us, and not involving a phone tower!
A great team effort involving John Maciver (and his son), Carl Matthews, John Muirr, and John Hume provided WiFi at the local Heartland Music Festival in Pitlochry, for the organisers, Artists and the traders. 3 days on site and little sleep were worth it. Cheers to Graham for asking us, look forward to the next one.

A remote antenna access issue was overcome by using our newest staff members existing skills as a time served scaffolder. Aaron joined us a year ago and works mainly in Orkney and Shetland / the north of Scotland with Carl Matthews.
With the antenna pole being non-climb status, heights were on the limits of free standing alloy towers or our long ladders, and a local cherry picker were not able to send a machine up the steep track. Faced with hiring in and transporting a machine to site via ferry - Aaron came up with a great solution I think. Cables swapped safely, new antennas installed - fault fixed.
Coincidentally, my start in work was 6 years in Scaffolding in Edinburgh, (before harnesses were mandatory!), rest assured we will be keeping Aaron's tickets up to date, what a useful skill to have. I may even get the old belt, spanner and podger out again!
