Frankly in Bahgdad, I'd feel a lot safer working on towers at night. You are not conspicuous and are not a target for anyone who does not have a night scope... As long as the good guys know you're there. If the bad guys can't see you, they can't shoot you off the tower. In the daylight you might as well wear a target on your back.

Frankly, I'd be hesitant to climb any towers in Iraq, for fear of being seen by an American sniper, and assumed to be an enemy mortar forward controller. Sniper asks on the radio net: Big Dog, this is Sasquatch. We got any friendlies up that tower at YF47568347? Nope? No friendlies? Okay, I'm going to drop him."

Day, or night.
