> Actually torque arms do almost nothing to stop twisting, you really
need to go with a 6-way guy. For that kind of wind, you might need the solid
leg Rohn 45 and lots of guys.
Correcto mundo. In the years before the TIA-222, ham wisdom was that
the foot long or so torque arms were a necessary part of tower construction.
Turns out that they really didn't do anything for tower torque but were
useful only by taking some of the twist out of the movement while being
climbed.
