[TowerTalk] Rohn 45 leg insulator question

[Rob Atkinson]

It is indeed a function of height and face width; a short wide tower
is less at risk for leg strain than a tall skinny one.   Any tower
will have the problem of compression and expansion on the legs with a
wind force on it, also more so with height.   A single point insulator
takes care of that.  However, once you start getting above 1800 kc,
used free standing Pyrods and similar with wire skirts start to become
attractive alternatives.
