[TowerTalk] Yagi Building Ideas

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

The element to boom mounting using a U bolt is a pretty fast and easy 
method for mounting.  Also if you use their idea of rivets you can 
temporarily insert the rivets and tape over them to hold them in place.

I suppose you could permanently mount a piece of aluminum on the booms 
and then u-bolt the elements to.  You would have to account for that 
mounting system in the design.  I am not sure what you would be gaining.
