The couple who climbed New York City's Empire State Building on July 2nd weren't just about to engage in a publicity stunt - they were also about to get engaged while they were up there, 1,454 feet, or 443 metres, above Manhattan.

This path of true love, however, had its obstacles. A number of media accounts were quick to note that the climbers were not authorized to go past the 102nd floor, the building's highest public-access spot. They managed, however, to get beyond there and into the restricted area which involved passing a number of antennas. There was the master antenna used by 15 New York FM stations as well as a separate, smaller antenna used by three other NY FM radio stations. Wearing no harnesses or parachutes, they also had to pass a number of antennas used by TV stations in New York City.

You don't need an RF calculator to know there was a lot of energy up there that day - not just nervous energy but RF energy. The broadcasters quickly shifted to backup antennas.

The couple, known for their daredevil stunts and profiled in the Netflix documentary, "Skywalkers: A Love Story," said in court after their arrest that they made their climb because they believed in power - in this case, the power of love. No doubt it was radiating from the both of them as the stunt turned into a successful marriage proposal,

Before they can say "I do," however, there's the question of saying "we did." The two face felony charges that include reckless endangerment and burglary.
