Hi Jim,
There are special instructions for TIC Ring installations in New
England. They should only be mounted at ground level.
Seriously, they ARE a pain in the butt to climb around. I climb with
the 2 lanyards on my belt, and always strap one above the ring before
disengaging the one below the ring. I'd recommend about 3 feet from
the top, to give you enough room to maneuver.
I have one guy bracket about 4 feet below a RIngrotor on my Rohn 45.
I don't think it really matters if you're a few feet further away,
but don't get too close and make clmbing around it more difficult.
