Does anyone know who changes the light bulbs on Antennas?

errrm, the maintainance guy who works for the owner of it.................

a couple years ago, a freeflyer stopped by our dz for a few jumps. he was on the road inspecting towers (for Sprint, I believe). as he was paid per tower, he was a climbing fool!

now if I had just got the combinations...
(wasn't active back then )

Tower maintenance is mostly contracted out to companies like this:

There is a jumper in Texas back in the eighties that did light tower maintenance like changing out light bulbs. He was also a heck of a shot with rifle . . .

The tower gremlins brake them and the tower Gnomes fix them.

I know a current jumper who has a job as a tower maintenance guy.

I also had a student earlier this year who works as a tower builder.

The tower gremlins break them and the tower Gnomes fix them. ...thats a good one.
how would one start a career in the tower biz? if one were so inclined... pm me
