John,

It gets interesting when doing a Service Change and they want the old wooden Mast replaced with GRC. Everything was on the old mast but we can't transfer it to the new mast without getting nailed for it. How do we explain that to the customer? What usually happens is we leave the old mast up and tell the customer that they have to call Telco and Cable to move their own cables. They probably do move them to the new mast after some time, I've never heard of any problems afterwards.


BTW, if you're interested in comparing regs our POCO, LIPA (formerly LILCO) has it's "RedBook" online at www.LIPOWER.org and here's some Drawings (pdf file) showing what's required for Mast construction and support in our area.
