[TowerTalk] Working on High Voltage Lines

[Art Boyars]

Well, W6RMK's reply makes me a believer:
  This is normal operating practice.. they've been doing it for decades...  I *am* impressed at the skill of the helo driver.  Takes a steady hand to hold the helo like that and you can bet they don't do it on a windy day.
But I am absolutely flabbergasted.  I haven't felt so stunned since I stood up sharply inside a steel doorframe that was six inches shorter than I am.  (Just to connect it with ham radio, I was on my way to the club station where I used to work.)
