[TowerTalk] Mosley CL-36 maintenance

[K0DAN]

Open up all the traps and clean out bugs, cobwebs, etc. When replacing the 
end caps, be sure they make a good seal.

Make sure all the hardware (clamps, nits & bolts, sheet metal screws) are in 
good condition, and replace where necessary with new stainless steel.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the coax balun with new coax (read docs 
for velocity factor).

When you assemble it , make sure the elements are in the correct positions.

The CL36 is a good antenna and should be a good performer for you and give 
you many years of service.

Good luck and 73
