[TowerTalk] Is There a 45G "Clohn" Preference Developing?

[W3YY]

Quality control at Rohn seemed to suffer in recent years.  Both I and a
friend bought new Rohn sections in 2002 and 2004 and both of us had
difficulty getting the sections to mate properly.  I remember this never
being a problem when I put up Rohn tower sections years ago.

If the current Rohn company hasn't taken steps to reestablish proper
dimensional quality, it would be a reason to buy a clone.
