[Towertalk] Building Hygain Yagis

[n4kg@juno.com]

Mel,

If WIND and / or ICE is a considertion, 
you may want to find a source of 7/16
inch O.D. aluminum tubing thicker than
the 'heavy duty aluminum foil' element
tips provided by HyGain.  BENT element
tips is a COMMON condition for most
amateur antennas I've seen from HyGain.

I  HATE that they use a non-standard size
that is so hard to find and don't offer a heavier
duty replacement !  TEXAS  TOWERS,
are you listening?
