[TowerTalk] Crank up tower bracing rubbing against cable

[David Thompson]

I had this problem with an older Tristao.  Lou Tristao told me to bend the 
cross bar out a little.  Rubbing did cause the wire to splinter which is a 
real problem if not replaced finally.

Hi All,

I've discovered that my less than a year old TX-472 tower has three places 
where the steel cable is rubbing against the tower. Attached below is a link 
to some photos of the problem. In one spot the interference has worn away a 
lot of metal and it caused some cable wear. I was wondering if anyone has 
experienced this and what I could do to remedy it. I've sent the photos to 
US Tower and I'm still waiting for their response. I crank my tower down 
every day and sometimes under light wind condition. I don't know if wind has 
anything to do with it. Thank you and very 73.
