- If it wasn't for the phillystrand holding mine up, it would look like it was in a permanent ice storm. The measurement would be in feet not inches. I need to do the support modification. Doesn't some

- Greg, Mike -W9RE - sells the strengthening kit for the 40-2CD Cushcraft yagi. I installed one of these on mine and the elements drooped down only slightly during the relatively heavy ice storms that

- On of the locals (KD3RC) had one up. As I recall, it sagged 2-3 ft at the ends. If I were going to install one, I would do the element strengthning modifications that W6NL developed for the CC 40-2CD

- The manual for the D40 I have calls for the installation of "backstays" terminating near the traps. No sag at all, helps keep birds from perching on it too. Blake N4GI

- Quite a bit. Maybe 2 feet, but the last time I pulled off an end cap, a huge amount of water ran out! This is in the middle of the desert, when it hadn't rained for months. I put the cap back on, but

- Ken: My D40 sags, I guess, a couple of feet. If you look at the pdf I mentioned in my previous e-mail (http://www.cushcraft.com/support/pdf/d4.pdf ), which is the manual for the D4 (40/20/15/10, not

- Ken, I'd say (looking at mine from afar) about 18-24" of sag at the ends. BTW, if anyone is interested in purchasing a D40, a friend of mine has one in an unopened box that he wants to sell (now lack

- Hi Guys, Unfortunately, the D40 owner has now decided to keep the dipole and use it on 40 meters. Sorry for the change in plans. 73, Joe, W1JR
