I used to think the old school hand signals were good enough for any job.
Then I worked a lift in downtown Chicago where the spotter was using a new two-way radio system from the ground. The difference in speed and clarity, especially with the wind noise up there, was huge. We got the steel set in half the time it normally takes. Anyone else made the switch to radios for good?

Thought hand signals were fine until I tried a radio in high wind.

Totally get what you mean, @verab28. Tried yelling hand signals across a field once in a storm and my friend just got a face full of rain and confusion lol. The wind just eats your words and your arm waves look like you're swatting bees. Makes you realize how fast you go from feeling in control to looking like a soaked mime. Honestly, radios feel like cheating after that mess.
