mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2019 At .37 and 1.07, you can see two microwave dishes about 2/3 the way up. I put up three of those back in 79/80 when I worked for the cable company in Columbia, SC. Gotta love heights to work up there ... but the view is fantastic. Feeling the tower swaying in the wind is like being rocked to sleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2019 A blue Sasquatch walking into our house ... Wife would first try to make you a pet. Me, on the other hand ... the image, which I am now signing up for therapy to remove, might make my love of blue disappear !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyme Fisher 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2019 I'd do that job in a heartbeat! The ones that really get credit here though are the Air Crane pilots. Unbelievable hover and unconventional direction skills! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2020 I helped my dad install the rotor and antenna on top the 40' tower we put up on the hill behind his house. Never had a problem with height and worked on other antennas, up top of bridge decks being built, and walked open grate over 75' in the air. These didn't bother me though I will say the first feeling in your stomach when you lean back against the harness is something different. I could never do what those guys do though even though I know tower workers who have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
