[TowerTalk] [YCCC] Boom End Caps??

[Frank Scolaro]

Ted,

Probably no caps on the elements, they will droop down and any moisture will drain. As for the boom, mine is open, but guess u cud always put some stainless steel "wool" to keep birds out! I did that at my previous QTH when I had a 3" dia boom. The Tennadyne I have now has two small square boom assemblies, one on top of the other, so I didn't bother.  

Enjoy the new antenna!
