A good friend took one down in Massachusetts after 8 or 9 years, and there
was so much fatigue damage to the boom (cracking, etc.) that the
professional tower guy doing the work advised him just to junk it. Sounds
as if mileage varies all over the place, though the differences could also
reflect rolling changes in the antennas themselves, depending on when they
were produced.
