[TowerTalk] Tower accident,

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

I subscribe to towerpro on yahoo groups.  There is seldom a week or  two that 
goes by that a professional tower climber doesn't get killed in a  tower 
accident.  These guys are trained and certified and they still  die....sometimes 
because of equipment failure, but sometimes through  carelessness.
 
If these pros are not invincible, neither are we hams.  It's been  eighteen 
months since I went up a tower and in a few weeks I will be spending  lots of 
time up there.  The New Mexico ham's death is a wakeup call for  me.  I 
definitely will be tied to the tower at all times.  Stay  safe!
