[Towertalk] Yagi Corrosion

[kk9a@arrl.net]

What happens to your yagis?  I have a tower near salt water and I have to
paint it at least once a year.  What can I expect when I install antennas?

I'm oceanfront and will have my SteppIr up in January.  They called last
week to schedule shipping, but since we're gone for the holidays, I
rescheduled it forward into January.  Being oceanfront, this saltwater
environment will be a good test since I have to change out or refurbish
the yagis every two years or so.  Rotors last about the same.
