A week after the hurricane my 17 meter element fell off my 12/17
duobander. The element to boom bracket rivets failed and the element
slide off the boom. Might be a good idea the next time you work on a
Force 12 antenna that you use through bolts instead of rivets on the
boom to element brackets.
Since I have older antennas, I was surprised to see that my 40 yo.
TH-6DXX did not rotate on the mast and looked to be in prefect shape,
with same swr as before.
The 160 meter inverted L and the 40 meter EDZ had no problems.
