For the same reason why we don't tell everyone exactly where our ham
repeaters are: there is a segment of the populous that will show up and
check out the site, wondering what it looks like. In the broadcast
world, this ranges from looky-loos to drunken would-be towerclimbers and
army rangers. Some just want to climb big steel for the sheer joy of it,
the other seeks to ride down the guy wire as if it were a zipline.
If you're lucky, the latter brought the right equipment and the birds
don't pick pieces of him out of the ice bridge for the next few months.
