before you hire anybody to climb your  tower.  Most people wait until  
things go to crap to seek  counsel, and then they spend 100 times as  
much in attorney  fees.  And the law in one state (including workman's  
comp) is  not the same as the law in the other 49.

    That's what the ham-law reflector is for. There's  a legal advice 
disclaimer but you can always ask the experts. It's sort of the  TowerTalk of the 
legal eagles. I think they're checking into whether plastic  owls on your big 
beam are an endangered species. 
 
    Frank doesn't have to play a lawyer on tv cuz  he's a real one.
