Ron James Spears, 44, was retrieving a "ham" radio antenna from the top of a 160-foot tower on private property off Sheep Mountain Road near MacDoel, Calif., the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office reported. A sheriff's office release said Spears had bought a 40-meter ham radio antenna mounted atop the tower and planned to climb up, dismantle it and bring it down in pieces. Spears told the man he bought the equipment from that he had built the tower and antenna for the previous owner and was experienced in tower construction and removal, the release said. Spears had inspected the tower for safety before climbing it, his father, who accompanied Spears to the tower, told investigators. He was about 10 feet from the top of the tower when it snapped and fell to the ground at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday. The sheriff's office said Spears suffered massive head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
