Two items - 

1) I just swapped a Yaesu 2800 for my HamIV in Rohn 25.  There was plenty of 
space in the 25AG4 top section.  This is the top section with no Z bracing in 
the top two cross braces.  When I asked the question (of a 2800 in 25G) of 
this group there were a number of responders who felt it wouldn't fit.  I just 
wanted to let everyone know there is plenty of space - at least on this 
particular top section.  It will not fit in a straight section - the z brace 
interfers.

2) Question - I noticed the leg bolts are getting a little rusty on the 25G.  
Can I replace these in place a bolt at a time with new ones or is there two 
much downward force, especially on the lower sections.  The tower is 90 feet.  
I am lucky in that I live almost next door to Hill Radio and can pick up Rohn 
stuff any time with no shipping.

Thanks --
