Gee, I wonder if you're thinking of the "older" Rohn brackets? Compared to the Rohn house brackets I bought a few decades ago for my Rohn 25 towers, the Rohn house brackets I bought six years ago for
W2RU sez: My Rohn brackets are five feet across, and have five nut-and-bolt assemblies tying each of them to a rather substantial backer plate system in my garage and attic walls. (I had the advantag
Did you use fresh water or salt water? Was it still readable? Sorry. I couldn't resist.... :-) _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTal

The recent discussions about whether wire "rope" is suitable for guying towers seem to me to have mostly missed the primary issue, which I believe is this: In many guyed tower configurations, a major
Very good point, Roger. My comments were in response to the discussion about *other* types of wire rope vs. the conventional EHS we use -- all of which I would treat as "high mass" guys. I wasn't att
And as a lower cost alternative to Bill's #2 suggestion, this works: Wrap a few turns of black electrical tape around the cable on both sides of where you intend to cut it. Then find a nice smooth ro
Does anyone have a scan of the "later" manual for the Cushcraft 20-4CD? (The "later" manual is totally reorganized and can be recognized by the inclusion of a half-page illustration of boom assembly
