[TowerTalk] K8RI INFO ON TOWER CLIMBING SAFETY CABLE

[n4zkf]

Down here a "regular" safety climb will last 1 year. A stainless will last
10. So in the end it's much cheaper. It sure does look prettier too!
I know my Tower Techs who use them every day prefer the stainless. When I
was climbing every day, they didn't have them.   :(

I can hook you up with Scott @ Metrosite if you want. He is a good guy.

The way stuff rots outside you'd think we lived on the coast.  Not quite as
bad as salt, but we get the acid rain from Chicago and points West.
