I added some updated links below, apparently the man was Milt Jenson of Virden, according to Wireless Estimator, who was 73 years old when this happened. According to Ralph Turk, a retired engineer from KVOA, from KVOA.com, said he was an experienced climber. Articles say that OSHA is investigating. New links below.

I just found out that a man died from a fall from a communications tower at Mt Lemmon on Thursday June 9^th. We are till waiting for more details to be released. He volunteered to work on an amateur radio tower and fell around 11:45AM local time according to PCSD spokesperson Dep. Ryan Inglett. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. This is ruled an accident. His name has not yet been released.
