- I had one fail in a fairly mild wind condition (35 mph). The lower insulator on the "C" bracket broke. The engineers at Hy-Gain were surprised that it failed at such a low wind speed. They replaced i

- What's the conventional wisdom on using torque arms? Are they really necessary? I'm building 125 ft. Rohn 45 tower guyed in three places with 18 sq. ft. of antenna/mast wind load. (Not sure of the to

- Understand about guy assemblies. I will be using them. However, Rohn sells the torque arms separately. Locally they're about $100 a set of three. In the Rohn catalog (the short, ham version) torque a
