[TowerTalk] Rohn 25G Harware

[KI7WX at aol.com]

I think you are going to find that Stan is out of the bolt business. Texas 
Towers may have some Rohn bolt kits.

FWIW, I used the Rohn bolts on some 25G and found they are not galvanized, 
but weakly plated. On 50 foot of tower, many of these sacred Rohn 25G bolts were 
showing rust after only 2 years. This was in NC which is not that harsh an 
environment. On my other tower I used some bolts from McMaster Carr which were 
coated with something they call "Ultracoating". Those bolts were like new when 
we took the tower down this spring.

My conclusion is next time I do used 25G I'll just get a good bolt and won't 
waste too much time worrying about if they came packaged from Rohn or not.
