[TowerTalk] hose clamps

[Bob K6UJ]

Totally agree with Jake,  I suspect this is the problem.
This has happened to me also.  
I have put another slot with a hacksaw opposite the original slot as Jake said.  Works great.

My experience is if the slit isn't wide enough the sides will pinch and no amount of tightening will work....... strip city of the clamp, if you will. My approach is either widen the slit, or use a hacksaw to make another slit opposite the first. It works for me.
