Jim,
How many SS hose clamps have you stripped? I stripped too many because I
could not get the clamp tight enough to prevent the smaller element from
turning inside the larger. I also found that with more penetrox applied, a
tighter hose clamp is required. So my experience differs from yours.
So torque your gear clamp to the max spec and the smaller element still
turns inside the larger. Common sense would tell you to tighten that clamp
further, possibly stripping it, unless you lubricate it.
You have seen my antennas; are there antenna elements falling off
everywhere?

## If you tq to their MAX tq figures, the smaller tubing inside will not
spin, even if
you slop penetrox on it. Unless the yagi tips have to be adjustable, then
maybe use
SS hose clamps for the tips only. The rest of the yagi should be using 3
x rivets
at each joint.
