Anonymous Coward User ID: 29551889 United States 12/12/2012 12:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wonder how much those guys get paid. Quoting: Thor's Hamster I also wonder how many pairs of soiled shorts he goes through in a week. I used to do this for a living, back in the early eighties. I got paid $37.50 an hour. We service radio towers in 4 counties, plus the sheriffs repeaters and a few state towers. Worse thing is winter when there has been freezing rain. Bottom line? No excuses for a tower without signal/safety lights. ICY LADDERS !!!!!!!!! Why don't they just lower down out of a helicopter? Is there a reason? |

Also, how can you trust that the ladder pegs are secure? How can you trust that your toolbox won't get tangled and yank you backwards as you take another step? Why the hell does he lean backwards when he takes a break? This shit is pure ballsack crazy! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1190661 Australia 12/12/2012 04:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have to have a lot of faith in the guys that did the welding and the bolting together of things. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1190661 Personally, I wouldn't trust myself with that , let alone someone else. I think I'll destroy my job application for becoming a tower jockey! I don't have a fear of falling, I have a fear of the landing after the fall. SPLAT! Lol would probably die from a heart attack before hitting the ground Yes a heart stopping ride... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 29318472 United States 12/12/2012 05:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Reminded me of my USN days aboard CVA-42 Roosevelt from 73 thru 75 as an OS3, fancy name for Scope Dope, when we did periodic maintenance on the gear atop the mast. These WWII era boats are dwarfed by the "Supercarriers" of today. Any way, This guy definitely has a challenging job, particularly when the wind picks up. But it pails when your platform starts to pitch and roll. One second your support is beneath you and the next few seconds when your ship heels to starboard you see the roiling seas coming up fast from below, followed by the inevitable return roll to port and you see the flight deck; wondering whether you safety harness will hold. Nowadays this is less pronounced with the "Supercarriers". However all sailors know that somewhere out at sea is that unique set of waves and wind that will put even the largest boats built into peril and initiate a "death roll". Imagine that!! |
