[TowerTalk] tower climbers xmas gift

[Jerry Keller]

Many of the posts for this subject indicate there's a lot of "solo" tower climbing going on. I don't climb, but if I did I would never do so without a helper on the ground to watch my back and send up stuff. Let's see.... where did I get that good safety idea? I believe it was here on TowerTalk... :-)  73,  Jerry K3BZ

  1 wrench vs 10 that belt can get awful heavy after some time up top.Last time I went up to install a rotor cable for my G 1000DXA when I went to slip the weather boot on I noticed the metal sleeve for the plug cover was loose.You know I didn't have a screwdriver that small with me!Down & back up Less weight more use sounds good to me.
