Speaking of overloaded towers. I took a trip up to one of the sites
that we inhabit and I see that the AT&T tower maintenence crews
(contract labor in this area) have come and retrofitted the heavily
laden 90 foot Rohn 25 diagonal crossbars with what appears to be
something like the gripping end of a diamond grip dead end. After
this is installed on the diagonals,it is coated with an epoxy resin.
Must be a strength retrofit. Has anyone else seen this?
73 to all. John
