Now Now Stan. It could be perfectly OK. He may have blocked the telescoping
sections at the
bottom. I have a multi-level structure that I built last year that resides
inside the tower and
each telescoping section comes to a stop on its "rest". I think they call
these "nesting
structures". So I climb mine and it won't move even a fraction of an inch -
even if the cable
were to break, which it won't since it's unloaded in that configuration.
On the other hand, I happen to know that the principals of several of the most
famous antenna
manufacturing companies climb crankups routinely without any blocking.
But I don't.
