[TowerTalk] Force 12 C-4

[k6ct]

Hello Guys,
In addition to what Tom is saying, this also happened to me. I did as Tom
suggested PLUS I got some teflon tape from local plumbing supply and wrapped
that around the U where it might "see" the aluminum through the gap in the
PVC. No problems ever since.

>The PVC insulator has arced over to the U-bolt holding the element. The
slot
>in the PVC should be aligned with the gap between the U-bolt and the
element
>to boom plate. This is the largest air gap and prevents such an occurance.
>The PVC is right within reach. It might be possible to clean it and rotate
>the slot to the gap. If necessary, new insulators can be added without
>removing the element (or antenna).
>
>If you would like new insulators, please respond to this e-mail address and
>it should rach me!
