Were they changing a light? On our radio and TV towers, we had to have a tower jack do a visual inspection every now and then. Sometimes the fittings would corrode or we would get a better antenna to put on the tower, or it needed to be painted.
Here is an interesting, but macabre side note. One of the tower jacks who worked on our towers in upstate New York was Nicholas Berg. Remember that poor soul. He was the first American beheaded by the extremists in Iraq in 2004.
