[TowerTalk] Lockwasher Comparison

I concur. If the rotator bolts are loosening, perhaps something else is
happening like the clamp bracket is stretching or bending.

Although rotor bolts can loosen over time generally if they're tightened
properly initially they won't do so - at least that has been my
experience. Tower bolts have no issues to speak of as the nuts have lots
of friction and are not critical to the application (all load is vertical)
... Nylocks were the second best and at a much more affordable price -
that is what M2, Optibeam use on their antennas - and what I choose to
use.
