Anyone know what this shit is? Looks nasty.

looks like herpes on an "A"

They are called Antenna Stingers, basically the receive a signal. Just be sure to wear lead underwear!!!!!

climb fast, don't stop near them

is it on a mountain or hill top?

those are broadcast emitters. not good for you at all. where you took the picture from you're probably being hit with a significant dose. i suggest not licking them.

edit to add the bad parts in the pic...

Yea mountain top. I try to get up as fast as possible. There are about 7 other towers with it ranging from 25'-230-

yeah, they are common like that on mtn tops. where as normally they'd be built up on big sticks like terminal towers and such to keep them up above the population. you might get some interference with your camera equipment as well. i would seriously limit your exposure around that stuff, but if you're on it, a key indicator it's definitely time to go is if your metal fillings are heating up and you're tasting metal in your mouth.

I tasted and smelled iron on this same mountain....

Crazy amount of RF there Chris. I'm not going back anymore.

Its cheaper than getting a vasectomy.

That reminds me of a freestander in CA capital city----most Nor-Cal'ers have jumped it. You get to the top and you know what it would feel like to climb inside a microwave, shut the door, and turn it on.

I only jumped that fucker once---that was plenty for me

That tower has always been weird to me.
