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

[Bill Parry]

I've been hesitant to chime in but I have had two of these antennas up for 9

hurricane. (Now that I have said this, I'll probably be sorry!)

I wonder why they fall off?  I've never heard of that. Mine have been up for

6 years now.  Gregg  K9KL
