[Towertalk] Rohn rotator plate for 25G

[Jon Ogden]

I discovered this myself.  Here's what I learned.

The rotor plate is specifically designed to be installed in the bottom part
of a Rohn top section.  The bottom part of the top section lacks a couple of
the "z" truss structural elements.  You can then get the rotor plate mounted
in there.  That is where you should mount the rotor.  Any other place and it
will not fit.
