    If a storm brews, there is no quick way down
    Oh yes there is....

    BTW, it would be a real bitch if they turned the transmitter on while those guys where up there!!! Fried tadpoles!

    My father used to have to climb radio/cell towers all the time. But luckily out here in the plains, we don't need any towers taller than 300 feet.
