[Towertalk] Failing Antennas

[ve2dc@rac.ca (Mel Martin)]

Would that make the antenna stronger? No point making one part of the
antenna stand up to a force 4 hurricane if the elements are rated at 90mph,
Bruce... I've had a few antennas fail over the years due to extreme WX but
I've never had an aluminum boom to mast plate fail.

>and a stainless boom to mast plate would add another few of bucks to the
>antenna selling price.
