[TowerTalk] FYI: for owners of 15M6-125 yagis

[Jorge Diez CX6VM]

Converting a 15M6DX-125 to a 15M6DX?  

Not understand, why?

The M2 antennas are over rated so will want to keep a stronger antenna 

The 44ft boom wall is s joke! 

I needed to replace my booms with the heavy duty version that they have to sell, but that you don't know of it till you have a problem and complain about this antenna

I’m converting them to 15M6DX’s ... will be range testing the conversion soon using a hex-copter and a extreme light weight dipole/XG3 exciter ... anyway in rebuilding this antenna I found that where the boom sections come together, the swaged ends now have ‘slots’ where the bolt goes through! I’ll drill 2 new holes the proper diameter and then add heavy duty rivets to help ensure this doesn’t happen again. Only one of the 2 that I have has this – they were taken down from a stack so I can only guess that it doesn’t happen always or maybe the top antenna in that previous installation was the one that developed slots.
