[TowerTalk] Re-galvanizing tower sections

[Gary R.]

I don't know Pat, I don't know everything about Rohn's product line so Dan may be right in that they offer (or offered before their buyout) optional bases upon request. I've only seen the 4-hole base plate design. It would
probably be best to contact Rohn after they've settled into their new home (Illinois is it?) and inquire about the options for 45G.
