After having a major project at work that involved a large amount of
aluminum welding by our fabricator, I started to wonder why I had never
heard of hams using aluminum welding to _more securely_ fabricate large
booms and elements (eg. 80m and 40 m full size elements for yagis and
verticals).

Other than the obvious problem when deconstruction is desired, are there
any other downsides to welding telescoping aluminum elements?
