Re: "Rohn tower hardware is hot dipped galvanized steel.  I'd take their knowledge over any "tower guy" or any other person for that matter."Exactly!  The science of materials and their proper manufacturing and use is far too complex to be summed up in an email or by statements like, "Material X is to brittle to be used for use in Y."  Run away from anyone who says it.  There are thousands of variations in steels that can be processed in thousands of variations, all of which affect the properties of the final product.  Making these decisions correctly so the final product works correctly is what engineering is all about.  In the words of Jim, K9YC in response to a similar issue:  "Science is NOT decided by majority vote, nor is it decided by opinion."Mark,  KE6BB
