I watched the documentary, which had a great beginning, but the content quality faded fast. The safety aspect was good, along with the aerial filming. The documentary should have shown some big commercial antenna installations, not just cell phone antennas. The drunken dude and crew boss were a negative aspect of the show. The documentary was about 41 minuets long, which left about 19 minuets of commercials. Safety is always #1 when I am on any tower. I'm always attached to the structure with OSHA approved gear and keep in contact with the ground crew with 2-way radio. de, ki5dq

I keep wanting to say where's the beef. Interesting look at some of the personality types in the industry but no real hard information. Looked like just an opportunity of showing some artistic camera angles rather than trying to really tell a complete story. I also wondered why they stuck with just cell phone towers and didn't really touch on broadcast towers or the view from 1000+ feet.
