My previous T2X was up on my Rohn 45 for 15+ years, no problems. I
recently replaced it, and today noted antennas spinning in the wind. I
climbed up and saw all the bolts were gone except one, which was loose.
I didn't do this installation, but did the first one, and didn't do
anything special (Locktite, etc.) to secure the bolts. Did I get lucky
the first time? Any ideas why they loosened up, and what should be done
to prevent it in the future? This latest installation has only been up
a month or two.
Tnx,
Barry W2UP
