Jorge,
IMO if I had to lower the antenna I would replace all the .049 wall with
.058 and dampining rope .

hello Wayne
thanks very much
Yes, DXE have it for $5, so will be the solution
Worst part, and expensive, will be to move the antenna to repair :-(

½” .049 wall id this is the tip you can upgrade this to a more common
.058 wall.
Not failure rate of the M2 antennas have installed two and assume there
still in the air !
HY-Gain antennas especially there 15 meter antenna would RAIN the 7/16
element tips if you did not install the recommended dampaning rope
3/16 “ pollyurathane strand
½ .058 wall tubing is common and available at a number of sources

Subject: [TowerTalk] M2inc 15M6DX tips
hello
third time I have my M2inc 15 mts yagi tips broken, now on driven element
2 years ago, M2inc asked me $28 for a 1/2´´ x .049 x 31´´ long tube, very
expensive, but since i also needed the 3/4 x 60´´ SOE section, i needed to
but at M2inc
Just for the tip, I think I can buy any 1/2´´ aluminium tube, right? Since
i am not good at US dimensions, just need to be sure that this will work
thanks!
