[TowerTalk] No Tool Fast Assembly HF Beam

[Gary "Joe" Mayfield]

After Field Day, we always think there must be a better way to assemble /
disassemble the tri-bander.  A couple of weeks go by and we forget about it,
until next year.  This year I hope to actually do something about it. 

 

Has anyone equipped the elements of a beam with some neat quick assembly
scheme?  I was thinking of the buttons often found in telescopic tent poles,
or the quick and easy clamps that keep the legs of my camera tripod
extended.

 

Also how about a quick and easy way to attach the elements to the boom?

 

 

I'm curious what Folks are Doing?
