Hello All:

I have a Rohn HG-70HD that has spent most of its life waiting to be =
raised. During that time, it has been in a horizontal positioin on the =
RV pad next to the house. As a result, the tops of the legs and cross =
braces ( the ones closest to the Sun) have darkened much more than the =
rest of the legs and braces. My question is, is there a chemical or acid =
bath that can be applied to the galvanizing that will restore the =
brightness? The tower is about five years old so there is no rust, it =
just  looks funny!  Also, does anyone know if a US Tower errection =
fixture can be modified to work with the Hy-Gain tower?

Thanks in advance for the information.

73, Mark...=20
