Not climbing at 68. Had to stop because of pain medication and occasional
dizziness and vertigo almost ten years ago. I am fortunate to have a number
of friends in my local radio club who still climb towers and work on rotors,
antennas, and other hardware in the air. They helped me last year, replacing
50 feet of Rohn - 45G, TH-7, T2X ,and LDF-50A with new. One member of the
climbing group is 75. I stay on the ground and help with ropes and go-fer
tools and parts as needed.
My wife has stated that she will hire someone rather than let me climb
again.
73 & DX,

My wife wants to know how may of us are still climbing our own tower after
age 68. If you don't any longer, please tell when you stopped. (Now I gave
my age away)
