[TowerTalk] XM-240 Shorty-Forty: X-Hat Modification

[RLVZ at aol.com]

Hi Guys,
 
I've had problems with the X-Hat Rods falling off of my XM-240.   
Therefore, I would like to eliminate the X-Hat by lengthening the  elements.  I'm 
wondering if anyone has done this successfully and how  much length must be 
added to the elements?  
 
Or if anyone has modeled the removal the XM-240 X-Hat by lengthening the  
elements... please share what element lengths you came up with.
 
Thanks!
