You would NEVER like to be on top of a 200' monopole in a 50 mph florida
breeze. It really moves :)

Hi all,

Interesting discussion regarding climbing unguyed towers...I am too 
chicken to climb more than 10'-12' past a guy level on a tower type that 
is designed to be guyed.  I have to admit that the most afraid I ever 
felt climbing a tower was a 75' free-standing which established a new 
equilibrium with me at the top by leaning out at least 18" or so from 
unloaded.  When I leaned back to free my hands and get to work I was 
SURE it was going all the way down...I think guys are good. 

I climb all around the 1300' tower that I have FM broadcasting equipment 
on all day long with no trepidation, just normal caution.  It is solid 
as a rock, has an elevator to 1000' and the views are awesome.

I too have misplaced the CD that came with my 19th edition ARRL Antenna 
Book, and would greatly appreciate it if anyone can email me a URL to 
replace it, or maybe FTP me a disc image.

> Looks like I have misplaced the CD that came with my 21st ARRL Antenna
Book edition and I was wondering if there is any archive that has the most
current version (1.04). I have the 20th edition of the book, which has an
older (1.03 I think) version of HFTA.
