According to the Rohn book, the 1/4" EHS has a breaking strength of 6,650
lbs. and the 1/2" turnbuckles have an ultimate strength of 11,000 lbs. They
should be good.

Using 1/4 inch EHS on my new tower and have a question I can not find the
answer to in the Rohn book. Can I use 1/2 inch or do I have to use 5/8
inch? Obviously 5/8 is stronger but no sens ein overkill.
