What object type was your first BASE Jump off?

[Johnny Utah]

Summer of 1991 on the way to the Quincy World Freefall Convention.
Jumped from a 1000 foot Antenna in Memphis Tennessee.
Used a skydiving rig with 26-inch pilot chute and clapped out cruiselight packed in d-bag with the slider down.
Had a 180 opening and flew backwards to avoid an object strike.
