For those who like to watch videos of high antennas:

It is difficult to be sure, but the guy appears to be standing on top!

There is a YouTube channel of John Hettish? with lots of antenna installs & repairs. Rather fascinating how they do the work with mainly armstrong power at such a height.

Try this one instead and enjoy "free climbing"!

That last one made me ill watching, knowing there were no safety lines.

Not only not having a safety line but can you imagine the sway at the top!

BASE jumping would be a useful second hobby I reckon.

VK2HRX, that's exactly what I said to my wife when I showed her.

off that tower quite difficult , winds tend to swirl and suck in

Base jump off a guyed tower. Lame in comparison to the free climb.
