Hi All,

While I have worked on a number of tower mounted antennas, I
have not put that many towers up and need some advice.

1)      How much Rohn 25 can you safly tilt up in one section?

2)      When you put the first, (bottom), guy wire onto a
equilizer plate, will that "tilt" the plate up and require
readjusting after getting all 3 sets attached?

I would like to put 50' togeather on the ground and tilt that
up. That would give me 2 sets of guys. Then put the last 2
sections on using a gin pole.

All advice gladly listened to!

cul,
