But I wouldn't do it anymore. I spent a lot of my youth hanging off towers and installing beam antennas that were MUCH larger and heavier than me.
Which was fine, before a)I figured out that I could die horribly and b) bifocals.
I get dizzy on a stepladder unless I take my glasses off. ;)

Never did it for money. This was another Ham Radio project. We replace the hardline from the 650’ mark to the 1350’ mark. A lot of work. Block & tackle and more than a few on the tower. The tower was 1450 ft. tall, but I never went above the 1350 ft. point. Too close to the broadcast antennas.
We had a VHF repeater on that tower. Chief engineer liked us, was a Ham too.
Big problem I had was one of my friends mailed me photo’s from the project and our work. My wife “was not” impressed. hee hee hee
Still have the photo’s on one of my older computers.
Haven’t been on anything over 100 ft. in a while.
