I have owned  4 K0XG tower rotating systems.  Used them on Rohn 45, 55 and 65.  Quality product.

TT'ers:
Does anybody know of sources for the base and  guy rings to be used on Rohn
45/55 rotating tower. I found RTS Systems and K0XG on line. Are
there others?

How important is cable quality to avoid leaks? Some cables have more
braiding and some less. Some have an aluminum foil and some don't. If a
cable checks well for loss and impedance, is it likely to be good enough?

So far, all detectable leaks at my station were due to loose connectors not
cables. But  I am planning SO2R and then even low level leaks may be
noticeable.
