The light comes from a burning isolator on the guide wires
Before it could be fixed it broke and is wrapped around the
Near the antenna connection 2/3 up (65 yards)
The antenna wires are connected to the extended arms (at the bottom of the picture)
Its our longest guide wire and has to be replaced
rest of the guide wires so Harry had to go op to 90 yards
Its a long climb up and it took an hour to get here
After some stormy days we discovered that one of our insulators was cracked and the seawater in the cracks made the porcelain cook. This is the reason why it lit up. A plan was made to fix this problem and before it could be put into effect, the porcelain broke and the guide-wire burned trough. It then became tangled around some of the other guide-wires and our antenna wires, causing the transmitter to shut down. Dutch Harry, who was on the ship to paint the tower anyway, had to climb the structure to fix this 'neat little problem' Climbing this tower had to be done in calm weather, witch it was when he started off, but it turned pretty violent later, when he was on his way down. The station was off the air the entire afternoon and when back on the air at around 18:30 (GMT) he came to the Dutch studio and told how it felt up there.
