[TowerTalk] Gin Pole for Rohn 55G

[john at kk9a.com]

I believe that I extended the threaded studs for another project so the EF2545 happened to fit my Rohn 55G legs just fine.  I just don't think that the pole and pulley are well suited for the 200 pounds load.

  I have both the Rohn EF2545 abd the HD WB0W and would be vary leary of using the EF2545 on  Rohn 55 because of the larger leg Dia.
  there are some fabricated gin pole brackets on Ebay but i am not sure if they have the ability as the WB0W unit to extend/adjust the outer clamp position  ?
