Towertalkians:

I am faced with the task of rebuilding an old (20+ year?) Hy-Gain 40M 2 
element beam with linear loading.  Since the linear loading on this old beast 
has decomposed it would be a major undertaking as I doubt that parts are 
available.

Therefore, I am considering using the AL from the old beam and converting it 
into a 40M X-beam as per the handbook. Has anyone ever modeled the X-beam?

Comments, criticisms? Experience with the X-beam? etc.  would be appreciated
