Jim,
Some of these "safety devices" are good in theory.
But can anyone tell me how many lives they have saved in the ham community?
How many lives have been saved with a full body harness or the steel cable?

## You mentioned ladders. Check out the stats. Aprx 2200 folks die
each year
falling off ladders. ## Do whatever you want.... but the simple
steel cable running up the side of the
tower, with the locking device, will ensure you dont fall ... when
going up or down the tower. ## Once you arrive at the desired level
of the tower, you hook in with both lanyards. That’s
about as simple and safe as it gets. The steel cable running up the
side of the tower will not impede
climbing the tower, cost very little to install. You will never die
from falling off the tower... cuz you are
tied onto the tower at all times. .375 inch EHS cable is dirt
cheap.... you only require enough to span the height of the tower.
IE: 50-200 feet. ## Im going to leave this one alone from here on
in.... thread over for me. Jim VE7RF
