Re: [TowerTalk] Fwd: Safety line on tower

[Bob K6UJ <k6uj@pacbell.net>]

Hans,

Like you, I am also considering it for my tower.  I like the idea of a 
safety line.  I am not
concerned that some might think it is not  appropriate for a ham tower.
Would we be too safe by using a safety line and should it only be used on
commercial towers ?  hihi :-)

73,
