I have found colored tape is a great way to mark antenna elements that
are assembled in the air - sometimes I send the boom up with only the
aligned central portions attached to the boom (so it "looks like a wide
spaced six meter beam" (K5ZD)) and then plug in the remainder of the element halves... you can color code these locations i.e. the reflector is red and the reflector element halves are also colored red.... the driven element is black and the driven element halves are black... the first director is green and the first director halves are green... it makes for a lot quicker and less stressful installation.... none of that are you sure that is the right piece - it looks shorter from down here stuff....

At the time, the only special colors they carried were white, red, yellow, blue and green (though the 3M catalog showed more). I bought one of each. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
