I put my C4XL up in MN and then move about 6 months later. All I had
to do was use a under sized drill bit, 1-2 sizes. With the antenna on
the ground I had all of the rivets that needed drilling done in under
30 min's.
The antenna is now back up and working FB. I have moved many antennas
over the years, overseas and back. I will use the rivets anyday.

If I were to purchase a beam kit that had riveted elements , and I put it
all together as per factory directions, including putting in the rivets,
and then I discovered that the beam was not "right on" --- I would be
royally pi---ed and angry as well. Bad enuf to try to change hose
clamped
elements, but drilling a new hole, etc. would really honk me off ,
especially if the beam came so highly touted, and I followed the factory
directions to the letter. Too many stories of post-construction re-tuning
for me. de K4VUD
