Your antenna elements don't exhibit resonant wind vibration because you
use stainless steel screws? And rivets are not OK because it "makes it
difficult to dismantle elements if you ever need to" after 20 or more
years? But metal screws in the aluminum tubing do not make disassembly
difficult or even impossible?
