What made you want to double ground it ?

Your orange tracer is Rg 6 cable.

Awesome job....Thanks for the explanations and showing how a professional does it right!

Do you ever mark from pure measurements?

Sometimes I stick the metal flag into a small crack and use that as a ground

It does, I was there when Austin built that. I'm top dog

Hi - thanks for what you do! At 6:46 what is the cable situation you're using. There's a specialty alligator clip with piral phone type cable. Thene ther's the large clamp - you're clamping both on the aluminum tracer wire. Additionally you're transmitter is grounded. Can you explain this set up? Thank you

Highly informative content as always brother!! We've talked before, and with a little coaxing by my trainees, I've completely changed the (direction) and name of my channel, in an effort to pay homage to your fantastic work. I mentioned once before we should make an attempt at a collaboration between you out there in the Chicago area, and me over here on the East Coast. Together I think we can accomplish great things, and hopefully benefit the entire industry through video based education. Cheers my friend!! 🦺☺️

why not try bumping the frequency up to 33k or 83k to try and get that taco bell ped? I know a higher frequency is more likely to bleed off on to surrounding utilities, but if the peak and null agree, the amperage stays steady and as long as it leads straight to that taco bell ped, I would think it would be worth a shot. Thanks for the video.

Would you be able to make a video on locating nodes for phone lines?

Just a lay person that finds this stuff interesting, I've seen other locator videos send a fish tape down the duct and direct connect to get a heading going I suppose if it really was crucial

I love steel services to Steel Main so much actually. though tracers on plastic are braindead easy to locate but it's such a chore when it is no longer accessible. have to backfed on 200k from nearby service assuming every service and the main they are connected to are plastic on that street

Your a well of knowledge. And you know how t communicate effectively. Thank you very much

811 corporate hell. I lasted 2 years. Never again.

Here in Australia fiber is in pipe

Love these how to videos, thanks!

The point is, 5g id killing us with radiation and harmful frequencies.

Good video, of explain and show meter

Welcome back. So it's best to use 8k instead of 33k while Ring Clamped

I'm a private locator and when we have to do surveys and have to mark public utilities when it comes to Comcast if I have a pedestal with three or more cables coming up into it and no other pedestal insight, I will normally clamp all of them to better isolate each signal.

Nice to see you back again, it's been awhile.

Are we going to have anymore videos? Soon

Thanks for making these videos. I'm a newbie and my trainer knows nothing about training. Your vids are helping me.

Thanks for always making it simple like every video is for a beginner. I've searched and searched for content like this.

I’m a locator in SOcal, and man this fiber line scares the hell outta me and of course gas line.

Promo>SM

Can you use this method while locating gas as well or is this method only best for locating power lines? New in the gas locating field so im curious

telecom- my baby lol

your marks are off

I’m coming back to Chicago this summer. I’m from Aurora. Hanging out with friends . Let’s go locate

Appreciate the videos I learned more here then the training I received. Not trying to talk bad on the company. But you break it down so well. Thank u

I am a new locator and have been watching your videos, they are amazing. I have been using a small ground rod but been thinking about buying a long one like you have!!!

Hey Luka I know what you mean about the weather, it's still cold and rainy here in B.C. Canada, makes it miserable for locating for sure. Great vid. Take care.

I would think direct connecting to the pole drop is the same concept as both grounds are bonded, which means you still put yourself in danger, right?

Hey buddy another good video. Are you always in the city or do you ever have to locate rural areas??

Thank you. Good info.... Would at 50MA cause it to bleed out about 11 ft giving out a false reading ?

Awesome video, I appreciate it. Just started OJT in Minnesota and marking a lot of cable using the exact same equipment. Forwarding this to my classroom trainer, this hands on info will definitely help a lot of folks who haven't had the opportunity to be hands on yet

Can you do a vid on fiber test point poles ?

3:23 fart cam

Looked at my ticket count. I'm sitting at 120,and mostly projects..

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼GOOD CLASS good stuff

I exclusively do MCI only in Southern California and 95% of the time they have that orange tracer wire either I use 33khz majority of the time or 8khz sometimes. Rarely have issues of bleeding or not able to locate. The new builds have a solid orange conduit with a second conduit that contains innerducts that provide a blue tracer wire and also use 33khz. The old MCI builds have that green tracer wire. If they dont contain any tracer wire I just use a duct router either a 250ft or ask for an extension to use our 1,200 ft duct router. Very rare that we escalate to utility company. And should demonstrate grounding on the metal of manholes when there is no dirt thats what I do. Enjoy the videos 👍

I have been running into this problem lately as well. Just have to go to the other side.

Yes, I have.

I will never use AT&T again

Is there a reason you ground out in range w/ your utility, instead of perpendicular to it?

All I say is when there's a trace wire no matter what kind it is I'm at least sort of happy because on the private side you run into so many places with cameras or private fibers that the companies put into their property with no trace wire they just wanted to save money and then get pissed at the locator When it can't be found.
