K1VR: That's the strategy I chose. In addition, with a T2X, the question
is not IF, but when will it fail. So take the opportunity and buy a used
T2X when one comes up for sale locally.

K1VR: As Barry Scheck, noted trial attorney (OJ, the Nanny) says: "Been
a lot of places, tried a lot of cases." I've visited a lot of big gun
stations and I've never seen a solution to the problem I call: "Bang the
arm slowly."

K1VR: There are two sizes of TIC RingRotor. One is designed for Rohn
25/45. The other is really big. You might look at the specifications
harder, as I can't recall, but it seems to me that it would fit a 24"
face.
