[TowerTalk] Center on Pad of Rohn SSV

[David Robbins K1TTT]

Well, if its got 3 legs it's a perfect triangle, unless they are in a single
line.  However, if those 3 legs are not part of a perfect 'equilateral'
triangle I would say something is wrong with the tower.  Check it carefully
for damage and proper construction.
