Hi Cam,
This is very interesting information. Even though I was a Rohn Dealer for
years, I never saw any plans for a 25G rotator self that would fit in 25G
where there were diagonals installed. I also never saw anything like this
in any of their catalogs. This is a new one on me . . . ! It must have
been a well-kept Rohn secret.
