They're back there somewhere. I think. Unless their radio is dead. Which could be, because they keep asking me to move them 2" in random directions.

I've been just revving the throttle before I actually move, and half the time that's enough- "stop-stop". View attachment 362684
I have little experience compared to most crane operators. It was a serious freakout when the guy on the roof in the blind had his radio go out as I was bringing in a load. I was getting ready to go running up the stairs to check on him when we got back in communication.
After that incident I made that an item, have a helper or second radio please. The roof was safety lined off so nobody could come to the edge and signal me.

Everyone having cell phones has made it so much easier if the radio dies.
