Also, be aware that you MUST eliminate that
resonance ! Many years ago, myself (and another ham) obtained the 6 meter moon bounce array from a well known ham (he built it, got echos, than abandoned it- reason, at that time, he was the ONLY op capible of 6 meter moonbounce! helped the owner of the first half put it up on 5 inch irrigation pipe! The array worked well- but the wind started oscillations in the elements. The elements began to shear off from metal fatigue, at the point where they went thru the boom. Same happened to mine, even as stand alone yagis! These had elements of 6061-t , 5/16 inch dia. tubeing, if memory serves. Translation: IF allowed to continue, look for the elements to start breaking off, at some point in time! Would agree that the insulating foam might be enough to stop the oscillations in the elements. Good luck Jim NN7K Gene Fuller wrote: Hi Francesco, You did not describe the vibrations, so this may be off base. If it is a "sound", then perhaps the tubing is acting like a flute. Plugging the ends of the open tubes would stop the sound. It may be necessary to leave a small hole for drainage. 73, Gene W4SZ |
