When a 1768 ft. radio tower needs a new lightbulb

What if you're all the way up there and suddenly have to go to the bathroom real bad? :eek:

If it's not a hot tower (AM), just hope the Boss isn't watching.
If it's an AM tower, and it's energized, try to dribble a lot. I've heard stories of people getting a very uncomfortable burn in their private parts, when the "down-stream" reaches about 1/4 wavelength.

That sounds like a variation of the "peeing on the third rail" story that the Mythbusters de-bunked. It turns out that stream is not continuous, it is composed of droplets, therefore there is no conductive path.
 
OMFG! I about had a stroke just watching it. It stopped to buffer a little over halfway and I just closed it there.

I wouldn't do that for a million bucks.
