I'd forget the terminal strip. Install a quick disconnect kit, available from The ROTOR MAN or ROTOR DOCTOR or ROTO ROOTER or one of those guys. Makes the trip up the tower a lot shorter and MUCH eas

Hi Mike, **Appraising a property that he was also involved with on the selling or buying side would certainly be on a slippery slope if for some reason something bad happened. ** This is true... Like

Just as a side note to those who might want a discone, stay away ... FAR AWAY from the radio shack model, or any with HOLLOW elements. You want solid rod, stainless steel. Also most of the TRAM stuff
