[TowerTalk] Safety line on tower

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

I see the convenience. They make climbing a 100' tower sooo much easier. 
No guys to hook and unhook to get around and no continuous hook and 
unhook going up and down.  More time to work "up there" before reaching 
the time to come down as without the safety line the hook and unhook 
uses a lot of energy going up and down.  100 foot  25G and 45G really do 
benefit from having one. Even 50 or 60 feet. Were I younger and still 
making a good wage, I'd have one on my 100' 45G

73,
