[Towertalk] CRANK UP TOWERS

[wy6k@yahoo.com (WYsixK)]

Veeelllllyyyyy interestiing observation.   Hmmmmmm.  Maybe I should
adjust my nesting fixture so there is some tension on the cable when
it's down all the way.  But I can never get tension on both the pull up
and pull down portions of the cable at the same time.  So I'm sorta
stuck with some moisture ingress whether I like it or not.
