::Can you reference any specific reports on this? I haven't seen any, but then
I really haven't been looking for any, either.
My T8's been up since November 2001, so it's going on 8 years, through tons of
wind and lots of vibration and it's still perfect.
It is funny when a very heavy bird lands near the end of one of the longer
elements, though. Element tip sag can be a few feet. When the bird takes
off, the up and down motion of the element tip makes one wonder...but after
7-1/2 years and thousands of heavy birds landing and taking off, I stopped
worrying about it! -WB2WIK/6
>Reports of metal fatigue at the boom to element joints of the
Tennadyne antenna are quite common.
