I am toying with the idea of rebuilding a surplus M2 40M3L into a WARC antenna, with full-size elements on 30m (as well as other elements for 18m and 12m). Due to local wind and ice, Id like to truss

M2 has a kit for some of the later antennas to help with ice and wind problems. Basically, it doubles the height of the central element truss support and uses Phillystran as the truss support. The li

10" truss seems pretty low. I would probably double or triple that height. You need to attach to one of your larger element sections, perhaps 1/3 of the way out. I had some issues with eye bolts on m

If you have a copy of Leeson's Mechanical Design of Yagi.. he covers it in depth. Attach the guy to the element where there is at least double thickness as in a overlap joint. If you triple wall then
