Not a can you top this Jim
But a Local and Fellow FRC'er was working alone on his 120' Rohn 55 tower.
He's in his Late 60's . after working on a lower side mount antenna he
climbed to the 90' side mount hooked up.
As he described he looked to the SKY and that was IT He Fainted collapsed
on the tower face banging his chin, and far head. He dose not know for
fact how long he was OUT , But it was long enough he lost all his BODY
functions and his climb DOWN after regaining consciousness was a messy wet
one !
He went to his DR, and then the a Cardiology Group and the next had two
stints procedure
Don't Climb Alone and Stay Hooked UP
