Hans,
You've gotten a lot of responses and I'd bet all of us have been following
them closely.
So far I've gotten one clear message, all of us over 65 are learning that
old age ain't for sissies.
Second, and it really makes me feel good about the TowerTalk community, no
one wants to or does anything stupid.
Third, it is clear we all age and carry our health differently and approach
tower work with savy and good sense.
I envy all of you who have 'help' nearby. That is the one drawback to my
move to the area I'm in from Portland. A dearth of HFers anywhere nearby
where the distance isn't measured in hours, and those few hams that do live
anywhere close aren't DXers and mostly older than I. Having help is a
blessed commodity and treat them with kindness and care!! If there are any
other hams in the central coast who have towers I have not found them!!

Hans-
I erected a 48' Tower With Tribander, at 74 (By myself)--That was the last
Time-- My Wife wont let me anymore, and I had Heart Surgery the next year..
(I'm now 87, I think, HI.)

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)
Best 73 de,
Hans - N2JFS
