80 year old climbing - more power to him....good attitude...but now he knows
his limitations...and he had sense enough to employ a fall harness...yes his

Hope he was able to get his work done for the contest! Maybe he was turning
his beams for the Floirda QSO Party which is only 29 days away!
73,
Jim, K4OJ
