TowerTalkians,
I am in the [slow :))] process of installing a lattice, triangular, guyed 
tower. I plan to put a XM-240 and a 3 ele yagi for 12/17m at its top.

The tower is all made on steel angle. Starting at the ten meters level, the 
tower showed a slight inclination. I stoped the installation at the 16 
meters level and inserted some flat washers between two modules. That 
corrected the inclination.

I'd like to know if what I did had compromised the tower. A much better 
explanation of the problem, including several pictures is at my WEB page:

Your thoughts will be much appreciated.
