[TowerTalk] Sad day - W9ZUC tower accident

[Joe K2UF]

I use two lanyards when climbing (at 76 w/bad knees I climb very little
these days).  I keep one lanyard attached when I get to a guy level I attach
the second lanyard above the guys before unhooking the lower one and
continue up --- very slowly these days.

Condolences to the friends and family of W9ZUC

The minor annoyance of keeping tied off doesn’t seem like a big deal when
something like this happens.


A bit farther down the site is an article about a wrongful death lawsuit for
an unlighted tower less than 200 ft. high. Seems that even following the FAA
rules does not protect you. It talks about agricultural and meteorological
towers, but I can see this including our stuff as well.
