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

73,
