G A Fred, Okay on the try later. Yes I still climb but every one says I
should qrt but I love climbing towers. However Fred I can't stay up very
long like I used to like a hour or two. I kinda get a bit shakey for some
reason. Guess I am not in as good a shape as I once was hi hi.
I used to climbe my 75 foot tower I had years ago which was a crank up and
the top section I could just get my toes on one foot on the cross brace.
Now the tower is a Rhone 45 which is great for doing the job. G L Fred and
73.Ed K7UC
