Re: [TowerTalk] 75 meter verticals

[Lew <lew@teleport.com>]

Hi Steve,
    Before you lay out any cash for the insulators for the Rohn 25, be 
sure to ask them if they are rated to actually take any kind of a load 
on the tower after they have been placed. I bought 3 of them 4-5 years 
ago and was really disappointed with the information that came with the 
insulators noting that if they were actually used on a tower, not to put 
any kind of rotator or additional stress on the insulators, other than 
the tower.
    If all you're doing is creating verticals out of the Rohn 25, then 
the insulators would be fine..but there are easier and  more economical 
ways to achieve that goal.
   73 and I remain,
