A buddy of mine is using a T2X rotor with a 1 7/8" OD chromoly mast. He has 
about 13.5 sq ft of antenna surface area attached to the mast, which is well 
below the rating of 20 sq ft. The T2X is 10' below a thrust bearing.
The mast has been slipping from time to time (windy conditions), and he was 
wondering if something can be done to stop the slippage. I have been using the 
K7NV clamp on my Orion 2800's that are clamped to 2" chromoly masts, but I 
don't see anything on Kurt's website for a T2X.
Has anyone here on the Reflector had a similar experience and come up with a 
good solution?
Thanks, 73, Rich, N6KT
