    In the late 1970's I use to paint microwave tower's, ( tv/radio), international orange and white, and also high voltage towers and substation steel while energized. Microwave tower's are built to sway quite a bit. I'm sorry for the family's loss.

      @@rocknraptor3195 Guyed ones should not move, if they did, it would mean it's basically stretching the cables or even pulling them out of the ground. Interestingly I have seen the guy wires themselves bounce a little under tension in super high winds but tower itself does not move at all. I actually have a video of that where I zoomed right into a tower during a wind storm. I was curious myself to see if it had any sway to it.

    I'm work on cell towers all over the east coast. Many times I have to travel to a tower where maybe just the bulb went out or the T-31 light cell is faulty and it needs to be switched out. You've noticed during the day the light flashes white and at night its red. When the sun goes down the light cell will trigger and a red lens will move up around the bulb changing the light to red. Better believe if somebody lives near a tower and the sensor has gone out they will call you because the white light at night is pretty bright in many places and they will call up saying its lighting up their whole house and can't sleep. Haha...yes we get those calls and tbh it would get annoying. Ive had a few diff scares over the yrs. I'll nvr forgot the scariest. I was climbing a tower in Kentucky and it had been hit by lightning. I had to go up to change out some components and when I got over halfway up (approx 320 feet) the foot hold snapped off and I fell. It scared the hell outta me of course but I knew my safety would catch. Well it caught but the spot where I had anchored snapped as well. I started falling again. Thats when I knew that was it for me. I fell another 20 - 30 feet when all of a sudden I stopped and it was one hell of a jerk. Turns out my safety rope somehow looped itself and then got wedged in one of the cross sections of the steel supports. From there I was able to secure myself again. I had so much adrenalin going that I didn't even realize I had broken 2 fingers. Even while using the hand I didnt feel it. Luckily it was very cold that day so that helped but when the adrenalin wore off...I felt it then. I was a high rise window cleaner also before I started working on cell towers and I had a big scare there too. I've had 2 of the 5 most dangerous jobs in my life.

    Years ago we had an ice storm come through, more intense than what we usually get. The local TV station had three towers east of town, two for TV and one for the radio station. The towers were stabilized by huge thick cables attached to large concrete bases buried deep in the ground. The cables and the towers became covered with a thick layer of ice which caused the cables to sag a bit. The next morning as the sun rose the cables on the east side began to thaw and lose the ice as did the tower, this caused the tower to be pulled to the west and set up an oscillation. The swaying stretched the cables to the point of failing and the tower came crashing down heavily damaging the transmitter building, fortunately no one was injured.

    What voltages are these towers supplying to the load at the top?

    • @dsmreloader7552
      @dsmreloader7552 2 роки тому +1

      Typically none. The RF voltage/current is inside the coaxial cable so not accessible to the workers with the outside of the coax at ground potential. RF energy coming off of the antennas is a risk so shutdowns are normal during any work near the antenna itself. AM towers however are "hot" and typically shutdown altogether when work is being done on the tower.

    The safety is not well. They must have a cable attached to the top which holds the climber permanently from the beginning.
