[TowerTalk] tension on tramline

[Pete Smith]

Thanks to K1TTT for coming up with information that is precisely on 
point.  I was startled (not that I should necessarily have been, but I was) 
by the amount of downforce on the rotator that can easily result when 
running a tramline from a mast rather than from the tower.  Strikes me it 
would be easy to crack the top casting on some ham rotators if you weren't 
careful.
