Reiner1 0 #1 December 15, 2005 HI- ive only ever jumped '3-guyed' 120 degree antennas before and ive just recently found a 500ft 4-Guyed 'A', that i really want to jump. Ive climbed it once before to check it out ,however i was uncomfortable with the wind speed and direction in relation to the decreased angle between the wires and decided not to jump it. i just want to send out this post to gather any advice on jumping these type of A's. Are there any more factors that i have to consider?- Or is everything the same as in regard to other A's? (obviously the angle is tighter). Its 900ft up a hill and the winds are quite high 25-30 mph, the landing area is adequate on all sides. Im living in an area where there are no other base jumpers to get advice from. Please post any useful info that might help.Cheers, Reiner. Also, Is there any jumpers going to Swizerland in January/ february 06'?- im planning a trip and would like to meet up with other jumpers!

RayLosli 11 #5 December 15, 2005 We done a short 4-wire/4-corner Tower local around here. It is short though. We only PCA/static-lines it. we were always below the guy-wires on opening. I don't know that I would FF a 4-wire Up High and deal with all the sets of Guy-wire below if I had a bad off heading. For max. safety maybe just stay below the 1st wire set. If you are concerned about wire strike. I don't know if that would be high enough you to FF or just static-line. Unless you can take it down to set-up on opening low enough to free-fall past the upper sets and be below all the set of guy wires but that sounds a Little Sketchy to. .

Reiner1 0 #6 December 15, 2005 Ive only got 35 base jumps in total. Ive done a crane a few times. couple of smoke stacks a few S's and E's, an electricity pylon and also a few FM 'A's. Ive done some direct bag jumps and a few slider up jumps off of A's and E's, but most have been slider down. When i Started base early last year,(Ive just recently started jumping again since recovering from an accident)- i was living around a few fairly experienced and motivated people. However, i have since moved to southern ireland and am in an area where there are no other jumpers, so ive mostly been jumping on my own with ground crew. I learn as much as i can by phoning other jumpers and reading the forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
