I have 90' of rohn 25g guyed at 30, 60, and 85'. At the 50' level, I
noticed a small
horizontal crack right where the top of the 5th section's leg swedges down
to go into
the 6th section. The crack is apx 1/4 " long and is right in the seam of
the swedge
going horizontally. There is just slight rust around it also. Should I be
concerned
about this and is there anything I can do short of taking the tower down or
hiring
a welding crew with a bucket truck? I have thought about homebrewing a
splint to go
over both sets of bolts in the 5th and 6th section. Any of you tower buffs
had this
one crop up?
Thanks....Steve
