[TowerTalk] Force 12 c-3 information

[Chet Moore]

Min C4E has withstood 8 years of action and no deterioration of the 
insulators.  C31XR  has been up 90 feet for 6 years.  Inspection last spring 
showed no problems with the insulators and no popped out rivet problems when 
we pulled it to the side of the tower. I had a couple of replacement pvc 
insulators with me on the tower but saw no need to replace any of the 
originals.

 All the new C3 series antennas now come  with every boom to element bracket 
pinned.  Same for the WARC-7 which I hope to have up in a couple of weeks.
