I see the convenience. They make climbing a 100' tower sooo much easier.
No guys to hook and unhook to get around and no continuous hook and
unhook going up and down. More time to work "up there" before reaching
the time to come down as without the safety line the hook and unhook
uses a lot of energy going up and down. 100 foot 25G and 45G really do
benefit from having one. Even 50 or 60 feet. Were I younger and still
making a good wage, I'd have one on my 100' 45G

And in our universe, it is not only rare but exceptionally rare, to see a safety line running the length of a tower.73Ed N1UR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk -- 73 Roger (K8RI) --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
