Hi Bob,
My experience has been that a Ham IV will not "free fall" inside a Rohn 25
tower. It hits the horizontal braces, just like the man said. You CAN
squeeze it in most anywhere through one of those triangles if you do it just
right, as K7LXC says. You then have to mount it at just the right height so
the "knobs" on the bell housing do not hit the diagonals. Finding a plate
to fit in there to mount it on is another problem . . .
