I think you're referring to a lanyard; a climbing belt is commonly used
to refer to the part that goes around you. In this case you're looking for a
positioning lanyard - the part that goes around the tower and holds you in a
'work' position.
Yes, the 3-6 footer is the best. 45G is about 4-feet around so this would
do it as well as allow you to work on 25G (3-feet around) and other tower
configurations. Champion Radio Products has a basic friction 3-6 foot
positioning lanyard for $55.00. More info at http://www.championradio.com.
