The 3 stack of KT36XA's have been de-installed and replaced by Skyhawks
thanks to some strong work performed by W2GD and W2RQ. I changed the
Skyhawk boom weight distribution such that the Skyhawk balance point
corresponds to the middle of the 22" TIC ring cradle. This required the
addition of 5 pounds of ballast to the front of the boom. I also added a
rope truss.
The SWR plots look very good. So far, I am pleased with the results.

Subject: Skyhawks on TIC Rings?
I currently have a 3 stack of KT36XA's on a Rohn 55G tower. They are
mounted on TIC Rings - Model 1122E. I am considering replacing the KT36XA's
with Skyhawks.
Does anyone have experience mounting Skyhawks on my configuration - Rohn 55G
/ Model 1122E TIC rings? If so, was there anything tricky about the
installation?
Any other thoughts or advice?
I know that K3WW is using a similar configuration and I have already gotten
an input from Chas.
