[TowerTalk] > Cement PSI

[StellarCAT]

My question was more from an engineering point of view... 
the fact that Rohn "calls for" this does not really or necessarily 
address the question. It may well be that was the standard then as well. 

Since this number represents the compression capability 
does it really come into play for a tower? Just curious.
