[TowerTalk] Rohn 45AG4 guy tabs?

[Mark Robinson]

Yes, I installed my guys about 5 feet down from the top of my Rohn 45 tower 
and the rotator is about 8 feet down from the top of the tower. It seems to 
work out pretty well.

I took the advice of others, when I decided where to position the top guys. 
It cost the price of an additional guy bracket but I don't regret the 
decision.
