I have seen some at flea markets that are rusted. Is this normal for a ROHN? How long can one expect the galvanizing to last? few months and have already learned a lot.

As a Rohn Dealer, I have noticed that those bolts do not seem to be the right type to "bite" into mast and still keep the threads in good shape.

I do not see AX towers in the current catalog so I expect Rohn does not recommend them at all, at least for ham use.
