[TowerTalk] Professional attachment hard line to Rohn tower

[Grant Saviers]

I use the CLICK ON hangers for LDF4 (3x), LDF5 (6x) and all 
control/rotator cables (11x) on my Rohn 65 tower.  In addition to the 
molded plastic carriers for LDF, there is a large selection of rubber 
collars with mixed or uniform cable sized holes yielding choices for 
which cables in each run.  I ran LDF4 on one leg, the LDF5 on another 
and the control cables on the third.  I also have to go around rings but 
the result is a very clean, stiff, well supported and out of the way of 
climbers installation.

I found all variations I needed between Tessco and one other cell supplier.

ps I have some left over components if you decide to go this way. email 
me off list.
