I also watched the news story. But not one newsperson said it was a =
Amateur Radio Tower. They said it was a man working on his "TV Antenna". =
Lets all hope the fellow Amateur is OK. And that he decides to have his =
Tower work done by some one else.

ham=20
(apparently a "senior citizen" - and I'm close to being one) who had =
fallen=20
from his tower, purportedly at the near-70 foot level. He was shown =
upside=20
down on his safety harness, apparently unable to right himself. He was=20
rescued by a cherry picker, and apparently suffered little permanent=20
damage, other than to his pride, I'm sure. Thank goodness for safety=20
harnesses. And, for my Hazer system and not having to climb towers. Be =
safe out there!
