Top of the Midgett "World"11 viewsDavid had to climb to the very top of the tallest mast on the Midgett to retrieve the broken antenna shown here. See the video (of the same title) he took from that vantage point, and the comments about it.Jun 12, 2007

Top of the Midgett "World" (large AVI file)10 viewsWe tested the Midgett's direction finders at a calibration range and found some problem. So, our Electronic Technician shop (where I work) had to try to fix them. The VHF radio direction finding antenna is the tallest object on Midgett, and I had to go get it! I grabbed my camera before starting the climb and recorded a short video to document the occasion. Before shooting the video, I removed the antenna; lowered it to the deck with a rope; and covered the tip of the mast with a plastic bag to protect the exposed wiring. At that moment, I was the tallest object on the ship. (Note: Wait about 5 minutes for the video to download...then it will start to play.)Jun 12, 2007
