We have a triangular Antenna tower that is about 40 years old and stands about 30' high. I climbed 1/2 up to repair that security light that was mounted on it, but was Leary about climbing the entire height to work on the antenna.

Should I be concerned about climbing all the way to the antenna ? its not rusted out, but I am just concerned about how well its anchored in concrete.
I was not there when it was erected, so I don't know if they secured it w/cables while attaching the upper sections and antenna.

Are those antennas designed to hold the weight of a 200 lb person at the top ?

Thanks

No, the antenna tower is not guyed. Just wondering how the antenna is serviced ? Do workers setup temporary guys ? I was trying to find some examples on U-tube or other to show me how to get up there safely.
No the antenna does not come down, all the sections are bolted together.
Its a typical home TV tower that you see at rural homes.
Looks just like this stuff: https://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=ame25b3

Is there a tool rental place that has a boom or scissor lift
nearby? Home Depot, for example.

That's the safe way. No one here has even seen this, we have no idea what
it was when new, what condition it's in, how it was installed. I wouldn't
climb it. I have seen people back a truck up against small towers like that
to support it on one side, then use a ladder on the other side. But you
wouldn't get me to do that.
