They actually touch? Wow - didn't realize some of the elements were
_that_ close.
F-12 sleeves plus aggressive taper does result in SWR wiggles, but
that must be some serious breeze as even on C-3E/A I have yet to
have physical contact even during near typhoon conditions or
sudden bursts pushing 100 km/h range.
