And, where did that photo of a BX tower come from?  I went out and looked
at my HDBX-48 (with two added top straight sections the size of the top of
BX section 3) and the X-braces almost touch each other at the rivits on
the legs, and thus are not at all so far separated as the photo in CQ
Contest.  Is Rohn making a lesser BX now, or for that photo?  K4VUD
