[TowerTalk] Bad fitting Nello(Rohn) 25 sections

[Rex Lint]

Hi All,

I've found a great way to cope with the "it won't fit" problem when I'm up
the tower:  I carry a hammer.  When I try to put the female over the male, I
can always get 2 legs to fit.  The third one is either too far out or too
far in toward another leg.  Pick the reinforcing rod that's keeping it "out"
to far, and bang it a couple of times with the hammer.  It'll pull in toward
the leg it was too far from, then the whole thing fits like a glove.  Once
in a while you can see that the rod is a little bent, but a lot of times you
can't.

This may or may not be the fault of Nello.  It may be the result of
gorilla-mentallity handling by the trucking company.
