Objet : Re: [TowerTalk] Plenty of Ham Friends who climb towers
I originally intended to put up a tower I would need to climb, and I
even bought a safety harness to allow me to do so safely. But then my
wife (now a ham too) persuaded me that I am too old for this sort of
thing and that I/we should spring for a tilt-over crank-up.
