[TowerTalk] Yaseu G-1000

[michael watts]

I concur with the idea of NOT pinning the mast.  I
attribute the fact that I have had a seriously
overloaded tower setup but no problems for about 8
years to the fact that my mast is not pinned.  The
twist is what kills you.

Sometimes, after a big blow or a bad winter, I have to
go up and realign the mast, but that is easy.  It
takes all of about 10 minutes.
