>> While welding aluminum may provide some benefits, our adopted process of using rivets provides not only a superb mechanical connection, but also a significant improvement in electrical compliance between the tubing and other components of the array. << Dandy! Please understand that my comments are not intended to stimulate a knee-jerk protective response to a commercially available amateur product. The thrust of the comments is to explore the limits of idealism in design of antennas and there supports -- a central topic that binds us here on this reflector. I support the efforts of the "Force 12" people here. I appreciate and value their years of experience and their general availability for discussion. It sounds as though if money were no object and you were not building a product for commercial consumption in a price sensitive market -- then you would personally prefer heli-arching the aluminum for reasons of mechanical integrity and electrical continuity -- reasons of longevity and minimizing maintenance. Does this correctly restate your position? -- Thanks....Joe E.
