[TowerTalk] Loose rotor bolts

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
