Author: "Tommy" <aldermant@windstream.net>

Hi Jim, I believe the objection was to your comment: " Open wire line is highly over-rated.." to which hardly anyone agrees. There are trade-offs either way, coax or OWL, but to say OWL is highly ove

Jim, Thanks for your comment. However a 70' Rohn 45G 90 MPH BWS (no ice) is rated for 15.2 sq. ft. But Note 3 of the specs says that figure includes 8 sq. ft. that was added in for 3 side-arms, which
