They used to be made of "pot" metal aluminum and would crack after time due to the wind. I had a freind tool some clamps for me from 6061-T6 aluminum and they worked superior. I also replaced the Polyethelene dialectric spacer in the gamma match with teflon. Saw the pictures on the web page. One thing that would be better for very long beams, 5 or 6 elements, is to increase the boom diameter. This will prevent saging and not require the boom supports. This would be acceptable to boom lengths of about 25 feet or so. Never looked at others. Don't really spend that much time on the air any more. james |

If you don't like sexuality shoved in your face, refrain from public displays of affection first. Of course, you probably don't have a choice, meaning you're motivated by jealousy, but I'm giving you a tiny benefit of the doubt. -- __________________________________________________ ______________________ Hail Eris! mhm 29x21; TM#5; COOSN-029-06-71069 The God of Odd Statements, the Ugliest Pig****er In The Universe Stupidity Takes Its Toll.

Thread where outing begins: http://tinyurl.com/hojf8 George Pickett Memorial Trophy, Special Ops Cody Memorial Purple Heart, and the Order of the Holey Sockpuppet winner on outing personal contact info in x-poasted subject lines: "Plenty of people post under their real names and do not attempt to hide their contact info. You are scared of being 'outed' because you are a pathological abuser of usenet, and people rightly despise you for it. You're afraid of being reported to the authorities or, better, visited by a couple of guys with baseball bats. Other people don't have this obsessive fear. Ward Hardman himself has posted plenty of personal information - nothing that anyone else added was hidden in any way. You're so ****ing scared you've built up this whole sick mythology about different categories of bad dudes who 'out' scum like you. "Meanwhile you are the ugliest pig****er in the universe. You are the coward without ethics. You call me a 'newbie' - ha! what an asshole you are. Those who want to remain anonymous do so. There is absolutely no way you could identify me, not unless you had the sort of subpoena power that only gets turned on for big-time terrorists. That's because I chose to be anonymous. Some people don't. Only really stupid dicks like you choose the sort of semi-anonymity which leaves you in constant fear. "What a dickless wonder you are 'Snarky' you fat asshole." -- in MID: . com "I am the only one who has outer filthed Ward" -- James C. "Crackhead" Cracked voluntarily self-immolates, in MID: "When I told Abbie Hoffman that he was the first one who made me laugh since Lenny Bruce died, Hoffman said, "Really? He was my god." The combination of satirical irreverence and sense of justice that Bruce and Hoffman shared was the real spirit behind the Yippies--a term I coined to describe a phenomenon that already existed: an organic coalition of stoned hippies and political activists who engaged in such actions as throwing money on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, then explaining to reporters the meaning of that symbolism. Folksinger Phil Ochs summed it up: "A demonstration should turn you on, not turn you off." So when journalists link the Yippies with misleading bedfellows, at best it's careless shorthand; at worst it's deliberate demonization. Osama bin Laden wanted an aircraft to crash into the Pentagon. Abbie Hoffman merely wanted to levitate it." -- Paul Krassner, http://tinyurl.com/ehu3v |

With enough exposure and time, SS will rust. Brass never rusts. james |
