[TowerTalk] 204BA loose clamps

[JC Smith]

Hi Jon,

I've had similar problems with my HyGain tribander, and I believe vibration has
something (if not everything) to do with it.  Whenever I have a nut/lockwasher
fall off I replace it with a stainless nylock nut.  I've never had one of them
come loose.  Also, I have never had a hose clamp come loose either.  The worm
drive makes them pretty secure.  I also believe they are slightly less wind
load (unless you use one too large for the tube size).
