This is exactly why I refuse to work on any antenna or tower project that
uses power to pull things up the tower. You want to use power? Ok. Just
find another tower guy . . . not me! (57 years old and still alive after a
LOT of tower jobs . . .)
OK. So I gave in a couple of times during a weak moment. I was weak and
stupid and lucky to be alive now . . . We get wiser when we get older . .
. IF we manage to get older . . .
