Steve:
So, let me be sure I have this right:
I'll attach the stand-off to the tower leg near the tower base, and have it
go out horizontally from the tower about 10 to 15 inches. ... Then, I'll
insert the ladder-line into the vertical slot at the other end of the
stand-off, and that should be it?
Thanks, Steve, and 73 from Tom Behler: Kb8TYJ
