[TowerTalk] Rhon gyn pole (Rohn ginpole)

[n4kg@juno.com]

Yep, the Rohn Gin pole is 1/8 inch wall thickness, 12 ft long.
A little extra length and heavier wall would be useful for 
installing heavy sections or long masts.  It has the dull
finish typical of 6061-T6.  Only very expensive alloys are
stronger.
