[TowerTalk] [Antennas] Carbon Fiber Boom

Who needs drilling and fittings?

Buy some carbon fiber fabric, some epoxy, and really good gloves.
Sand the boom a little.

Make a jig to hold your aluminum element center section at a right
angle to the boom and just wrap the joint in epoxy coated carbon
fiber.

Let it cure ... done.

Go to the local fancy bike shop if you need ideas on how to attach
aluminum to carbon fiber ;-)
