In my hay day I pulled up a 5 element beam at the top of a 60 foot Rohn 25 tower by myself.

Never be able to do that again.

In 1975 I knew the man who had to climb a 300 ft tower to replace a bulb on the top when it burned out. He got $200 per climb. I would like to know how much these guys get. I wouldn't want to do this climb.

I'm thinking "telescopic tilting antennas." A way to bring the light closer to you. I suppose they are going to LED lights so the climbs are less frequent.

I would hope so. LED's would save a lot. Not good for the climbers.

Made it to the end. Will my knees recover enough to get out of my chair and stand?

I thought it was funny when he said there was "no quick way down". :D

The guy lied - he said there was no quick way down. Let go and see how long it takes to taste terra firma. SECONDS!
