I noticed that Rohn 65G has the steps 18 inchs apart...vs the 15 inchs apart on 
rohn 45 + 55. 
18 inchs seems like a huge spread between each step....for both your feet...and 
hands.
For you folks with 65G  towers, are they harder to climb ?   On a 100-200 ft 
tower,  I 
could see this being an issue.   Im not planning to install any 65G... it was 
just a general
observation on my part. 

On a similar note, for  folks who install mast steps, how far apart are you 
spacing them ? 
I see that 12 inch spacing is used on most extension ladders.   I made my own 
mast steps,
soon to be installed.  I may build 1-2 more,  just to reduce the spacing a bit 
between each step.
