I helped assemble a 120 foot radio tower at the Dracut MA police station. Scariest friking thing I ever did.

Early in my career, I used to occasionally change a bulb or inspect contractor's work on microwave towers. I had become accustomed to climbing, so it was no big deal. One day I was climbing inside the tower while two of the contractors climbed on the outside of the tower. Needless to say I didn't appreciate the tower gyrations caused by the climbers shaking the tower on that windy day. The other climbers were amused.

Yes, I'll bet assembling the 120 foot tower was a scary thing to do!
