[SixClub] Anyone used a Diamond A502HB Beam?

[KB0NLY]

The only thing bad about the A502HB that i have heard is how thin the tubing 
is, but then all of Diamonds antennas are like that.  My UHF yagi is the 
same, it will be interesting to see how it holds up to ice next winter, i 
got it up after all the bad weather was done so it hasn't had a true test of 
the elements yet.

If you can go with a slightly larger antenna go with the 52-4S solid 
aluminum 4el yagi from www.arrowantennas.com.  I have had mine up for about 
three years now, lots of ice and wind and not a problem.

73,
