Bruce,
I'm not sure what you are talking about 'wearing thought the leg'? I have
had several antennas mounted to tower legs for a pretty long time with out
any trouble. The only thing I can guess you mean is if the antenna was
free to rotate on the leg. I do support all my fixed side mounted antennas
from two legs to eliminate this.
