Howdy, TowerTalkians -
    This is a terrific and sobering look at tower safety. It's over an hour long, so put aside some time to watch it. It's well done and should be required viewing for any tower activity. And tnx to Jim, K1IR for doing all the research and putting it on.

Cheers,Steve     K7LXCTOWER TECH

>From Dave Siddal, K3ZJ -
>  Below is a link to an excellent talk about tower safety recently presentedby K1IR, Jim Idelson.  Jim presents what a HAM needs to know and provides aclear explanation of today's safety equipment, which is greatly improvedsince my first tower climb years ago with an old lineman's belt.
>  I have been surprised to see hams still relying on their decades-old beltsto climb towers.  This is especially distressing given the middle and evenadvanced ages of many ham climbers.  For those of you who climb, this videois for you.  I urge you to make an investment in your own safety so thatJim will be less likely to be adding your callsign to his analysis.
