Howdy - I'm fixing a couple of broken F12 elements and need to know what the typical wall thickness is for normal aluminum antenna elements. It seems to me that 0.058" is a number I've seen before bu

That's the best for 'telescoping' segments, however, TIP segments are usually 0.038 as they don't 'support' another segment. 73 Don N8DE Quoting K7LXC@aol.com: _______________________________________

I have two Force 12s. A C19XR and an older WARC-7 The tips on the C19 are 0.058 and on the warc 7 slightly over 0.043 I don't have access to any of the inner sections. 73 Roger (K8RI) _______________

.058" is correct. The common tip thickness is .047". I'm not sure I've ever seen one at .03x". Using .047" is common because of less weight, cost, and it doesn't support another element...as stated.

Yes, those broken tips are caused by the vibration fatigue failure which occurs when the elements "HUM" in the wind. Damping them internally (rope is sometimes used) and capping the ends (or using si

Another very effective way to prevent the vibration is to wrap a wire or something similar. spiraling around the outside: like the car antennas. It doesn't take a very big wire, and you want the turn

.058 is correct for telescoping sections and you should use DOM (drawn over mandrel) tubing. KK9A Howdy - I'm fixing a couple of broken F12 elements and need to know what the typical wall thickness i
