I just sent a quote request to my handyman to see how much he wants to
add a length of wire across my roof crest and down the side of the house.

My home, two story, if way to high for my ass to be up there!

Remember me saying how I fell off my roof trying to put up antenna a
couple weeks ago? Well my buddy wanted to give me a hand because I'm
unable to climb and he crawled up on the roof and guess what? Yep! he
has a nice pair of crutches too.


Anybody putting up an antenna needs to plan how it may come down
accidently. A tower needs to have a place to fall without hitting other
structures. Any kind of antenna conductor needs to be away from power
lines so they will not fall on top of them. You would want to be away
from power lines for noise issues anyway. You have to know you are safe
walking around on a roof or you should not be up there.
