Bret:
Did you climb at night just to avoid the outpouring of human kindness
directed your way from loving neighbors concerned about your personal safety
on the top of a tower?
Hi hi
No doubt there are stories of blind hams climbing towers, just to have local
public safety officials arrive ...I prefer to do most of my minor antenna
work at night as well to avoid anoying questions or concerns or even the
stares of those who have too much time on their hands.
Its just too bad that my sited helpers can't work under the same
conditions....i suppose its too bad that i can't accomplish what they can in
the daylight and with vision either hi hi.
