I remember climbing a 500 foot tower on field day back when I was 
young and pretty foolish, and then, strapping the end of a dipole 
onto a guide cable using that locking metal tape wrapped around the 
huge cable. When we were all done, guess who went up and cut that 
metal strapping?
me, the blind guy who couldn't see how far to fall down. Also I made 
more CW contacts than anyone else that year in our club, quite the 
motivator, eh? :)
Climbing 40 foot towers, don't do it in a breeze, ok?
