Pro tip: Clear hand signals from my spotter saved a tricky lift the other day
Honestly, I was struggling with radio static. Tbh, his sharp gestures got the load placed perfect.

What makes the radios cut out so much for you guys? I've had hand signals get missed when the light's bad or someone's not looking right at me.

Prefer hand signals over radios for tricky lifts. Static makes radios unreliable.

On the Johnson contract, the radio static was so bad we heard a baby monitor next door. Switched to hand signals, but the crane operator had his sunglasses on and missed every cue. Spent ten minutes doing an interpretive dance for 'lower slowly.' Probably should have just used a megaphone.
