[TowerTalk] 25G torque bars

[john at kk9a.com]

Torque bars do little good, if any, to prevent a tower from twisting.  If 
you are concerned about stabilizing  your tower, use star guys.

Quick question:

I recall some years ago didn't Rohn quit making torque bars for 25G for some
reason like they were shown to have no structural value or something?

Didn't they start selling them again because so many people wanted them?

Should I use some?  I want to put a SteppIR 3-el tribander with a 40M kit on
80' of Rohn 25G.  Is there any anecdotal evidence out there that I do or 
don't
need torque bars?
