Time to install nylon rope in the elements to stop the vibration.

hello

I have had a problem with my M2inc antenna, 15M6DX over the years.

I has 6 or 7 times different elements tips beaking, really is
unbelievable that this happen, and seems is worst now, actually I have 3
tips broken in the last weeks

I am in a windy location, maybe the vibration is causing this.

What will be a solution for that?

I heard about a rope inside the elements, but will add weight to it

Others are using expanding foam

What do you think about that?

thanks in advance!
