[TowerTalk] [Towertalk] WARNING: Do not try this at home!

[Jim Miller]

Ever wonder why there are so many "tower accidents"?  I can think of other
ways I would rather die.
73, Jim

You know how 25G legs get compressed by overtorquing the bolts? Well a
professional showed me how you get the sections seperated.. you pull the
bolts then climb up on the now unbolted section and rock it loose, at over
100 feet no less. I was worried he was going to take both of us off the
tower!
