Hell yeah. Full body harness. The guy you see on it, though, is a professional climber and he only tends to strap on once he's in place. Not my cup of tea... but he's insured and does this stuff all the time.

Bwhahahaha!

I want a tower.

I think you'd get a better signal with a more concave reflector. WIth one that is too shallow, most of the transmitted radiation just gets lost to the air.

How much is 120 feet? Cause we've got an 18 meter antenna in the backyard :laugh:.

His is roughly twice as tall (120 ft ~ 36.57 m)

I've got a wifi repeater on an 80' tower.... and one one about 20' high on an old windmill tower frame, and one about 60' high on top of some grain bins....

this is getting more and more common

Dang, that's a skinny tower to go 120' with....

You guys are funny with this tower thing. Then again it deals with skinny things getting erected.

Glad to see you followed the Unarco Rohn Guidelines. They are overengineered on the 25G lines and even more so with 45G. As long as your guys are maintained you will never have problems with that tower other than an occasional lightning hit.

Cheers!
