And a very wide-angle lens.  I'm no expert on NY geography -- wonder if 
anyone can identify the site from the streets and buildings.  I have a 
hunch that there's a manlift inside the structure behind the corner 
reflector.  D'you suppose they're looking for a bird's nest inside the 
antenna element?  Maybe they need a plastic owl(?)

I may be in the minority, but weather aside, the climbing is the bad part 
for me, not working at height.
