[TowerTalk] How to fix crooked Rohn 45G short base?

[Steve Maki]

Another way to handle this would be to drill entirely new holes at right 
angles to the existing holes in the leg or legs that need adjustment.

Plug the unused holes so water doesn't get in there.

You can tell that I wouldn't go through a major re-engineer on this 
thing for such a small problem.
