[TowerTalk] M2inc 15M6DX tips

[john at kk9a.com]

If it is just the tip, .058 wall that is commonly available on the ham  
sites is better.  I use Ø1/2 x .058 wall 6061-T6 tips on my homebrew  
20m beams with no issues and no dampening rope. I used the same  
element design at my Aruba QTH which is constantly windy and I had no  
breakage or vibration problems there either.  If tips are breaking  
perhaps there is something wrong with the rest of the element taper  
design.

hello

third time I have my M2inc 15 mts yagi tips broken, now on driven element

2 years ago, M2inc asked me $28 for a 1/2´´ x .049 x 31´´ long tube, very
expensive, but since i also needed the 3/4 x 60´´ SOE section, i needed to
but at M2inc

Just for the tip, I think I can buy any 1/2´´ aluminium tube, right?  Since
i am not good at US dimensions, just need to be sure that this will work

thanks!
