Our club at work (K2DR) FINALLY got someone from building maintenance take
down our broken CL-33 (they wouldn't let us do it). The apparant damamge
is to the driven element only: in both halves of the DE, the 1" OD tubing
broke at the outermost insulator. When the elements crashed onto the roof,
the 7/8" tubing connecting the 1" tubing to the trap also bent. I assume I
have to order the insulators directly from Mosely. I plan on ordering the
tubing from someone like Texas Towers. Do I need to do anything special
about the wires from the matching section? I am assuming that I just run
the wires through the new tubing.
