[TowerTalk] Mast steps

[Jim Thomson]

I'm going to make some mast steps  from  14"  long pieces of 2" x 2"  x 1/4"  thick  6061-T6
I have been told that  a SINGLE  dx eng saddle clamp will suffice... and handles the weight
of a 250 lb man.   The dx eng clamp is just 3/8"  SS  for the U bolt portion... and  the saddle
is 1"  wide solid AL.   I only weight 150 lbs.   Is this safe enough ?    Plan B was to use the
DX eng  super mast clamp .. which has solid  2" high saddles on both sides of the mast.
This is for a 2"  mast. 

Tnx.... Jim  VE7RF
