Perhaps the wife is telling you that you are close enough to your wings as
it is.
I still climb once in awhile (I'm 69) but like many it takes a bit longer to
get up the tower than it used to. I have a 100 foot 45G and a 75 foot 25G.
But the antennas are getting too big for me (and my son) to handle. I hired
someone to put the current ones (an 8 el LPDA, a 4 el 40/30 yagi) up last
year.
Interesting responses.
73, Larry W6NWS

I'm 78, 79 next April and still have my belts, but last tower climbed was a
year ago and only a 40 footer. Physical body parts worked OK but noticed I
sure didn't feel as mentally comfortable up there as I used to. Maybe a
message from the spirits! My wife has made it clear she is not comfortable
with me going up a tower either (clearer voice than the spirits!!)
And that is why I moved to crankups, layover fixtures and the use of
man-bucket trucks some years back.

My wife wants to know how may of us are still climbing our own tower after
age 68. If you don't any longer, please tell when you stopped. (Now I gave
my age away)
Best 73 de,
