No way!
That’s a hard pass. Glad to experience it from the safety of my couch! 😂
if the price is right......so whats it pay to climb these?
@@builderman912not enough my friend. Not enough
Yes! I've climbed towers for 10 years! It's great you made this video!
Adam, my deepest repsect to you and your colleagues! Thanks for sharing what it's like to do this part of your job! You guys be safe!
Excellent video Adam. Thank you for taking the time to make it interesting. Your expert drone work made this even more spectacular.
I am in awe!! So amazing Adam. Props to you!!!
I retired from tower work 14 years ago. Highest I ever worked was 1000', but I had to climb that. No elevator. I was kinda expecting this video to at least be some sort of inspection (or some sort of actual service trip all the way to the top which of course would involve shutting down the transmitter (not popular with the station management obviously) and then actually climbing the stick which I used to do. This was just an elevator ride to near the top and then back down. I'm sorry to say I wasn't impressed. But like the others I'll agree that the drone video quality was good. That tech wasn't around when I was working.
The tallest we had in Germany was 1290ft or 363 meters, Sender Donebach. I climb the Tower, No elevator. It was hard but nice.
They couldn’t give you a preprogrammed replacement to swap in? I’m surprised a 10 year old part is still current technology.
Thanks so much for this premier Adam! You are much braver than I am that’s for sure! It sort of reminded me of when you climbed for GKTW last year
I was in the tree service for years,both as a climber and in a bucket truck, I remember many times feeling that heart pounding adrenaline rush! Granted, a tree is not even close to 1800 feet, but still most all truth telling veteran tree service professional will tell you that we can relate to the pounding heart rate lol.
After climbing for years, I finally bought the bucket truck. I remember early on the pounding heart rate while I was trying to adjust to the swaying/bouncy feel of the boom.
After a while you get good enough at your job that you can potentially be in a danger zoom of being too comfortable.
Next time you go up try not to think about how old the tower,cables and elevator are - not to mention the compency level of the maintenance crew.
Nice video...thank you!
Thank you!
😎 welcome...
Thank you for sharing this with us Adam! A truly unique opportunity to experience something so few others do.
Wow! What a great video. Thanks for taking us along. Great edit job, too!
Wow, that was so exciting, even my heart was pounding! Thanks Adam for sharing that with us
Just Wow. That was amazing to see. Thanks for taking us along. The drone footage gave an awesome perspective.
You are SO brave!! I'd pass out on the way up lol
Great video! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Nice video, funfact there was a 646 meters tall guyed tower in poland collapse in 1991, tallest tower in the usa is kvly with 629 meters or 2063 ft.
Wow. Thanks for the info
You sould post more vids
Amazing but no thank you. My heart was pounding just watching on tv
I’ve flown past that tower in a helicopter in the past. We typically flew at 500-600 ft and it was always odd to see a tower that much taller than us.
Amazing Adam! I could never do this! Thank you for sharing!
Amazing, that puts a new meaning to no job too big
I would go up in the elevator and stand on the platforms. Climbing the ladder is a different story. Maybe, if I could clip in with a carabiner or two, but it would take me at least 2-3 hours to go 1800 feet.
Funny he says he’s not afraid of heights, just falling. Feel the same. Being a retired lineman, I’ve climb many poles and towers along with trees having also done tree work. Then only time I ever had concern or thought of falling was when I’d look at some other persons work and wonder if they did their job right. I’d almost be more comfortable climbing that thing than trusting that elevator. Never felt that way in tall trees. Being on that tower as many towers and poles. It was natural to through a wrench in many nuts and bolts and five or try to give them a torque. On poles nuts and bolts had a tendency to loosen due to swelling and shrinking of the stick.
Seems that should just be a swap out. Not remove, go down, fix, backup and reinstall, then back down.
But not my job.
Wow looks so scary . Great video
Adam!!! I hope your mom didn’t watch this!! You should get an award for this video! All I can say is I’ll keep my teaching job! Wow! Thanks for sharing!😳
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing it. My wife and I love watching your streams and this video.
Oh my! My knees are knocking for you! It almost looks like the simulation for Space 220, except this is definitely real life!! Glad you made back safely!!
Oh Adam, my goodness this is scary. You should get paid big money to do this.
WOW!! This made me extremely nervous!! Thank you for taking us to worlds unknown!!!
Great ! - this 1800FT = 548,64 Meters High . Greetings from Poland ...
Hello. Thanks for reaching
Speaking as someone who hates Tower of Terror (the ride system)....I think I might have to put any ideas of switching IT support to broadcast engineer to bed 😂😂 I think I would be way to scaref to go up there!
Thanks for sharing though Adam!
Adam, how many people in this world can do this? How long have you been doing this and who taught you? ❤ You're a smart & brave man. 👏 👏 👏 👏 🌟
There are not many broadcast engineers that still climb towers. Just a handful I’m guessing. I had to take a specific training course and be certified to perform these operations. The training required climbing and safety equipment use.
Great video but don't know how you can do that so scary
Total respect to you all for working up there . All got nerves of steel.
Pretty amazing views there.
A few weeks ago some illegal lattice climbers got caught in Florida, they try to climb to the top.
Fascinating. Thanks for the video.
Wow I wouldn’t do it at all I am scared of heights tho I could go up the elevator to the rocket ride but nope on this lol! Wow you are really brave Adam!
I would be closing my eyes if I was up there. You’re a brave guy!
Lol...would i try this lol....
I'm a retired welder over 35 years ive fabricated just about everything this planet has to offer , my main profession was welding on silos over 320 feet high , we welded the ring plates up inside , we'd tack them all in where they go , might start out at a 130 diameter, 200 feet up work your way down until the opening was 8 feet , they stored coal, sand etc. Hold twenty to thirty thousand tons , my dad called me one time and said how do you not fall asleep working 12 to 14 hour days , I said all ya gotta do is look over the side , you'll wake up real quick , I made scale pay and thats what these guys should get ....
Nope. Nope nope nope. Nope.
Nice drone shot i would be go up there to capture a sunrise with the drone 500 meter higher from the tower , but that would be the only reason i go up there.
only a Floridian would think this is high.
I watched a video of a guy changing the light bulb on top of the St. Louis Arch and thought that was bad, lol. This was way worse, congrats on that ride up because no way could I do it.
Is that an old dodge charger police car you bought as a resale your driving?
This TV tower is very very beautiful. I love it.
Spectacular! I've jumped out of a plane and climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but you'd never catch me doing what you did. My knees are shaking just watching your video. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Curious...who owns the tower? Is it shared or just your station? I'm surprised it's not a "buddy" trip both ways for safety. Is that because there is a ground crew making sure everyone is ok? And last question, why does flat Florida need such a tall 1800 foot tower?
Well done, Adam!
There’s a large corporation called American Tower that owns most TV Broadcast Towers and we lease space. Sometimes the tv station owns the tower, it just depends.
Yes it’s alway a good I idea to have two people on the tower and one on the ground. The tower inspector with me was very qualified! TV towers require line-of sight with your home TV and Florida doesn’t have any nature higher elevation for tower installation. Most towers are installed on higher ground. That requires the tower to be extremely high to reach every TV set in our market.
Jumping from a plane is less dangerous than BASE Jumping or lattice climbing.
@@ParkPassTVoh due to curvature of the earth.
Being up at that height is no joke. That being said, to glorify this as climbing 1800' is extremely misleading. True, many people do not handle heights well, but let's not advertise this as "climbing". That platform was more than ample to perform your work without serious concern. Show me the men or women that set that tower. Now that is worthy or respect.
😮
The roller coaster Thunderbolt at Six Flags New England in Agawam Massachusetts is 70 feet tall so it beats the height of the lower platform of the TV tower in Florida.
Not to take anything away from you bro, but that's not an 1800' climb. That's an elevator ride to the clouds.🤔
I watched a vid of a guy changing the light bulb on top of the St. Louis Arch and thought that was bad, lol.
I would probably not be nervous when clipped in and Adam is always clipped. Given his experience, I'm surprised he's feeling the fear of heights. Maybe not the job for him even though he's obviously very good at at. Someone should cover that big hole Adam spoke about when stepping out of the elevator.
The iron men that climb towers don't come out of an elevator shaking. I had a couple of them climb my tower which was only 50' tall. I ask them have they been on a tall tower today. They said they just came back from one of those 2,000' towers South of Houston (tower alley). There are a lot of 1,800' and 2,000' towers out there.
This is incredible
Think we're redefinin' "climbing" here boys...
At least they didn't have to change the bulb.
That radio you mention at 1:50 isn't affected by the crazy amount of radio waves that tower is emitting?
It most certainly is. We run into a lot of problems with interference
for a second i thought you were going to lie to us and tell us that you were the highest person in florida!
I hate these towers. I fly a small plane and these things are dangerous. They should never be any where near a airport.
I always think (besides "I want to do that!") is that some people built that!
I just scared just watching but i was in a small plane at that height it was scary and fun at the same time i wonder how much they get paid to do this job enjoyed watching
I had to scoot to the edge of my couch & put a foot on the floor.
I feel you!
Bet it sucks if you drop a screw or something small enough to slip through that grate.
That plastic Helmet should be able to handle that 1800 ft drop😂😂😂😂😂😂
Helmet is for potential falling objects from the tower!
I go wobbly just watching
at least you dont have to climb to the top to change the bulb
I would go up just for fun-- BUt I used to build grain elevators and smokestacks
The view is awesome but sad it got not more views here on yt.
Imagine a daredevil/ lattice climber scaled this structure with no gear.
How did you get a drone to fly that high? I understand that DJI's drones won't let you fly over 400'.
Under Part 107 FAA regulations a licensed UAS can fly over 400 feet to inspect buildings and towers. So yes if you have a drone license
@@ParkPassTV What does the Part 107 make the drone do to fly over 400'? It looks like maybe special software or something?
Shout out the dudes who built that tower.
Why is bro wearing safety gear
It’s actually not the tallest tv tower in Florida, the tallest tv tower is down in homestead fl that is just over 1800ft!
Cool!
What do you do about RF safety at the platform height?
This site is a backup so RF was turned off. If we work on a hot site, levels have to be reduced as we approach or pass through
nothings dangerous about that tower.. clickbaits man... :(
If your knees are shaking that bad maybe you are in the wrong line of work. You looked scared to death.
Agreed 100 percent
How about the guys that built this monster, how much salary do guys like him make?
Unfortunately less than you would hope.
replay
What is the point of a helmet ???????
There are spring hangers that hold the RF line. They regularly fall off. A spring hanger hitting your head at terminal velocity is like a speeding bullet.
Is that height base-jumpable ?
Cannot comment on that. Very illegal activity
Easily
Be sure to take your toilet paper with you. I wonder if birds fly this high?
Climbing?
It's really not that bad, you act like your life was on a thread the whole time.
I'd like to see you do that and remain totally calm
Right? 😂
You don't know what your talking about setting in front of a TV watching....They don't pay them 20 or 30 thousand dollars each time they do this... Because it's easy work...
@@user-gs6fq1jq8y I skydive, wing walk and do all kinds of risky activities and this is a piece of cake. Whatever ! 🙄
Y'all really havin the "who's more manly" convo in a RUclips comments section
F THAT !

Would have to wear bicycle clips If you dont know what they are They stop your pants getting caught in the chain
I would be wearing them to stop the SH1T Running down and out the bottoms of my LEGS
::yawn:: big deal
There is no way I would go up there without a parachute.
