      The one good reason is because THAT'S WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS. I 
agree with you intuitively but I'm not a Rohn design engineer and neither is 
anyone else on TowerTalk. Until I have a credible engineering reason to 
ignore the factory, I will follow the manufacturer's specs and strongly 
recommend others do as well. 

     BTW, if you call Rohn you will not be allowed to talk to an engineer so 
calling them for answers is pretty useless.
