[TowerTalk] Rohn 45/55 - Use of Ladder Safety System

[KD0Q-Glenn]

Although not from Gemtor and not on a Rohn tower, I use a cable and DBA 
SALA sleeve on my AN Wireless tower.  It was not hard to install and 
works well.  So well, in fact, that I sometimes have to manually help 
the sleeve slide on the way down.
