> I see at least one Rohn 45 seller's web site that calls the tabs on
the 45AG4 top plate guy tabs. However I don't see any reference to that
in the Rohn documentation. Except for dimensions Rohn doesn't really say
a lot about the 45AG4. But Rohn always shows the guys attached a few
feet below the tower. So are they guy tabs? I was planning on using them
on a tower with a tall mast (the mast is another subject that will get a
post here in a bit). Guy the tower at the top plate and then not far
under the rotator. Anyone have the scoop on this.
The 3 holes on the top plate of the 45AG4 are for guy attachments.
This is more of a ham configuration. The reason that Rohn drawings show the
guys installed a few feet below the top of the tower is for commercial
applications where you might have fixed antennas mounted above and below the
top
of the tower and having the top guys a little lower allows for clearance of
the headload. Commercial towers would tend to have a pointy-top top
section than the more ham oriented flat topped one.
BTW you'll need either big thimbles or more likely shackles (clevises)
to join the terminated end of the guy with the holes in the top plate.
