Wow - what a mess. I'd say that it's half Rohn manufacturing and half
shipping damage.
There isn't any excuse for the manufacturing problems. I'll be curious
to see what Rohn has to say about it. Has anyone else had these or similar
problems? What's the timeframe - very recent or what? I'm pretty sure that
Rohn moved the G assembly from Peoria, IL, to Frankfort, IN, about a year
ago. It looks like they haven't aggregated their feces yet if that's the
situation.
