If you weld the tubing together, what is the wind rating then? Kind of difficult to get apart, but very little risk of losing electrical contact, rivets failing, rusted screws, etc. Someone should tr

I believe welding would destroy the temper and is subject to Hydrogen embrittlement, making it likely that the elements would fail unless there were a reinforcement inside that would not be heated. O

If you weld the aluminum tubing, you destroy the heat treatment in the Heat Affected Zone, resulting in a much weaker element. 73, geo - n4ua _______________________________________________ _________

It would certainly seem like it, but I'm not so sure. Most of the better antennas work well once tuned up and may work great for some years. The C3i antennas were great performers for some years. Yet

Hi Roger, I'd suggest all the failures you cite aren't actually related to the issue of joint conductivity. Solder deteriorates when exposed to weather. We know that, so why F12 didn't account for it
