said by Axilla:I'm VI as well, and have no problem doing tower work. I always tell people the ground looks far away when I'm on a step ladder, 50 feet more won't make much difference. Right... I'm more nervous at 20-30ft cause I can see the ground beyond that steady as a rock. Don't want to stray far OT... My father was an electrician/HVAC and did alot of work for Howard Bros. when they around other than the heat never minded the rooftop work or riding the cherry picker to replace parking lot lights. |

I've been that high but not on a tower didnt phase me in the least I'm visually impaired I can see the ground but don't really get the feeling of heights so it doesn't bother me, other benifit if I were to fall I'd never see the ground coming! |

You look awfully calm standing there considering just looking at the shot down between your feet causes my stomach to queeze. I doubt you could pry me off the floor of the lift nor less get me out on that platform. That sir is an orifice puckering shot. Wayne |

Wow, just found this forum.. didn't know it was here. KB8KOJ Never seen an equipment shelter on a tower before... But don't get to play with the big-boy stuff either. Low loss on feedline, but a PITA to make a hardware reset huh. |

And another General here -- but as said before, I'll not post my call in the open since so much info is out there attached to it. Suffice it to say I've had the same call for over 40 years.

Through the grating you can see the ground...hundreds of feet down. Gulp !.. HTH, 73 1000 feet down to be exact.. That's where the communications platform is on this 1360' tall tower... same height that the World Trade Towers were.. |

Boy, I could imagine me being the one sent up the tower to work on the repeater. "you can't see what's below you...get up there!" |

Guess it is time for me to 'officially' get into the log. N1ZUK -- Licenced for just over 10 years, Extra for half of that time. I am a VE with W5YI, helping administer Amateur and Commercial license exams. I also am a ARRL VUCC Award Manager. Currently, most of my station is off the air (living in a condo), but hope to get the equipment out of the boxes in the next year or two, after I move. Just in time for propagation to pick back up. I do a bit of HF DX hunting, as well as contesting. And I'll experiment with every mode and gizmo that I come across. But my favorite is the 6M "Magic Band". My best QSO was working VP6BR on Pitcarin Island from here in Vermont, with 10W SSB into a homemade 2el delta quad 10 feet off the ground... » www.uksmg.org/vp6br.htm |
