[TowerTalk] Rohn 25g foldover winch cable attachment

[Dave Rosen]

It looks like there were some changes over the years on these foldover kits. 
On the one I have it seems Rohn intended the cable to be connected through 
only one of the outside holes with a thimble.  The cable rubbing as it goes 
past the tower leg is normal.  The inside holes are for the retaining pin. 
This is what I have done and it works fine.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rohn 25g foldover winch cable attachment

I'm in the process of setting up a rohn 25g foldover tower.  The tower is up 
but I'm not sure how to attach the winch cable.  I have downloaded a pdf of 
the manual but the end of the boom is different on my setup.  There are two 
holes that I could use.  If I attach to both of them it would interfere with 
folding over the tower.  If I use just one I'm concerned about the offset 
load.

Here is a picture of the end of the boom.
