Update: That time hand signals failed in the wind

Was lifting a panel on a windy site, and the spotter's flags were useless. I ended up using the crane's horn in a code we made up on the spot. What old school methods have you all brought back when tech lets you down?

Worry that's playing with fire. Making up horn codes on the spot sounds like a fast track to a misunderstanding. We scrapped all that for site radios years ago because someone will inevitably get the beeps wrong.

What if the radios die or hit a dead zone? Then you're back to square one with no backup plan at all...
