For the second time I've had a broken element support issue. The first
time a F1 tornado came through and I lost half of the reflector. A few
weeks ago, a 45 mph wind gust took off half of the driven element.
Those insulator blocks have failed each time right at the coil to
element connections.
Does anyone know where I can get ideas as to how to bag the little
blocks and still have the elements insulated from the boom? Also, I see
that my Mosley CL-33 doesn't have the director and reflector insulated
from the boom. I thought that if the driven element was insulated from
the boom, all elements had to be the same.
Thanks.
73, Tom W8JWN
