[TowerTalk] Anti-climb measures

[Tower (K8RI)]

It depends on the tower, but three boards fastened to cover the tower faces
up to 10 or 12 feet would work quite well.   If the tower has a broader face
than can handily be covered with boards then half or three quarter inch
exterior plywood should work.
