[TowerTalk] 2 el 40m beams

[GALE STEWARD]

Since you do not yet have the beam in the air, I recommend that you do the mods for strengthening the elements and boom and also the mod to the loading coil assemblies to replace the self tapping screws with machine screws/nuts. These mods are well worth the time and material to complete. I have done these mods on my 40-2CD.

less put on a tower.? Has  anybody modified one of these beams?

    I think you are asking about structural  modifications. One tip - use 
the LXC Secret Dimensions. You have CW, MID and SSB  settings. If you split 
the CW and MID settings, you'll get about 250 kHz  bandwidth and the 2:1 
points will be 7.0 and 7.250. Pretty nifty.
