Sir
After reading your email I'm curious.
I just put up a multiband trapless type yagi.
I prepped all joints with Noalox and used ss hose clamps.
Double checked all clamps for tightness.

I've seen many types of joint connection, rivets, self tapping screws and
clamps.
Outside of heliarc welding, what do you think is the most secure joint
connection technique?
