It seems like every few weeks I start running into problems, and have to go through and retighten them to get rid of intermittent signal losses.  Is there anything that can be done to secure them better?-- 73, Pete N4ZRCheck out the new Reverse Beacon Networkweb server at<https://reversebeacon.net>.For spots, please use your favorite"retail" DX cluster.______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
