[TowerTalk] 15M6DX boom to mast plate

[john at kk9a.com]

I am amazed at how small and thin some commercial antenna mounting plates
are, especially on large antennas.  I do not hear of any failures so
apparently they are adequately strong or there is just not that much
pressure on them. In the US it is easy to purchase 6061 aluminum plate cut
to any size in a variety of thicknesses and then drill holes to suit your
clamps.

Hello



I am reinstalling a 15M6DX. Boom is 2.5 inches



The mast to boom plate seems very small for a 44 ft boom antenna, is just 8
x 8 inches



Anyone replaced this factory plate with another option?  Where to find it?



Thanks,

Jorge
