[TowerTalk] Pinning my mast in rotator clamp

[N3XX]

I have never drilled through the mast & bolted.  Have had to climb the 
towers a couple of times in the last 20 years to readjust when we had high 
winds, and the mast slipped a little in the clamps.  I would rather have to 
do this once in awhile than have something break in the rotator.

73,
Tim - N3XX
