For a couple of days, I have reverted to my real line of training, my friend the FME(Field Maintainance Engineer) for a mobile service provider insisted he wants to train me and make me understand some basics Networking and service providing trouble shooting. I obliged because he is my host for the past couple of days, I enjoyed staying with his family, his kids are super awesome, we bonded immediately I met them for the first time.
Another reason I had to go on his site works was, we were good friends in our undergraduate days, different religion but same mentality, in fact he changed my orientation about Islam, he is smart and accepts anyone once you share the same principle and philosophy.
The site was a remote site in Lokoja Nigeria, the village is a Coal mining site for Dangote Group of companies and the site shares the same power source with the transmitting tower for a local GSM/Mobile service Network, the rectify cabinet we went to troubleshoot is always redundant, its suppose to serve as a backup in case the Generating plant and inverter circuits goes off.
We spent about six hours to decommission that rectify rack after troubleshooting, it need a complete system overhaul, hence we had to ship down to Lagos for repairs or replacement. It was a hot sunny and dusty day, working remotely on a coal mine is not a cool task, but I enjoyed it as sharing ideas with my FME friend was super fantastic just like back in college.
I'm reluctant to travel down back to my base in Lagos, so many things to learn and practice. Its been an great month, from death to lessons and thousand of miles to cover. Still considering to go back to Telecommunications Engineering fully, if I do, I have to start as a Rigger- A starting point for me if l decide to go back into my field, always Climbing a Tower!
you're a great engineer, it's not an easy job to achieve that

I dont have the head for heights, so a riggers work ain't for me :)
But while climbing, always remember to go with your climbing harness. Safety first. Don't be like most riggers I know that climb without the harness :)
It's awesome to see an engineer doing some good work out there in the field :)
