Fellow TTers --
BACK WHEN .. 60s . I was taught to cut tower cables by putting them over an 
inverted axe and pound hard with a hammer ... did that for years, until I 
learned better...  as I recall, did not use safety glasses either.  Of 
course, that was in my stupid years, when I climbed towers and installed 
aerials without a belt .. there was like only one belt amongst the local 
hams, and he was skinny, so ...    dumb, ehh?   But, did it lots and lots of 
times.
I did fall off of a 50 foot Rohn tower one time, however.




But, I was only up on the 3rd rung.
Merry Christmas, y'all......61 es 73
