[TowerTalk] Sad day - W9ZUC tower accident

[Bill via TowerTalk]

Back in the 80s and the 90s I free-climbed many times too.   One day after 
reaching the top at 165 feet I decided to lean back from the tower  to begin 
my work.  Only problem was I hadn't put the belt around the  tower.  My 
mind did a self check and right before I let go, I didn't.   I quickly put my 
belt around the tower and actually shook for a while, thinking  how close I 
had become to being a silent key.
 
Wearing a seat belt has been rather useless over the years  too.  I've 
never been in an accident where I needed it.  But, you only  need to use it one 
time to save your life.
 
Belt up guys!

I have been climbing, free climbing, for 40  years.  I never kept track; I
probably have easily made at least 1000  climbs or more as a ham operator in
that  period.
