Well... thank you for the info, but this sounds like I would be deceiving the company that I would be working for. I would prefer to go out and learn from an experienced sweeper that does the job right, therefore allowing me to learn it right, not just enough to get me by. I believe this, along with a few courses from wavetek, would be the best way to go about it.
>#1- Pick up phone call someone with a sweep contract tell him you sweep.
>
>#2- Simply explain, you dont have much experience, (this is contractor code for; "you have my permission to screw me, I need the work").
>
>#3 This is where it gets touchy.... You can simply rent his test equipment, or if you want the full treatment, go lease a new bucket for $1500/mo, and by a Sweep unit. This path will truly teach you what you need to know. Although be fore-warned, it is not for the faint of heart or those that have others depending on your income.
>
>#4 Now this is very important. When asked if you supress ingress, you say YES! Add immediately, that you consider it part of the sweep. Nothing impresses a contrator more than a can do attitude. This is imperative. Like the above section, this training will be invaluable to you in the immediate future.
>
>#5 When given your first sweep prints, DO NOT let anyone know
>that you dont understand why not being able to read the tombstone legend is critical. Well, on second thought it doesn't really matter, because its likely neither do they.
>
>#6 When told you have to give the same retainer as the splice crew, you say, "Oh sure..."
>
>#7 Once you have your sweep unit, go to the field and rough balance, until you no longer recognize anything on the graph.
>Resist the urge to run to the nearest splice job and leave all your hard fought sweep earnings behind, this will come along quite naturally.
>
>Besides, you will fix this later by stumbling upon an active that has a decent P/V and copy that picture to the various problems you have instinctively ignored.
>
>Well, I hope this has been helpful. Good luck, and good sweeping!
