Steve, I thought I read that the F-12 rivets ( the rivets used by F-12 are
not your everyday garden type...no holes in the center or something like
that....) give the entire antenna somewhat less wind resistance ( and
survivability? ) than do clamps or screws, washers and nuts. What do you
make of that? - Mike

Why would they be a problem? Umm, airplanes are held together with
them.
Granted I would recommend additional rivets in windier environments but
other than that, they are a terrific way to connect element pieces. I don't
see a downside.
