Seems like almost all of the problems I've heard have related to large element mountings to the boom. I think perhaps I'll add a bolt or two to the larger element brackets on mine before I put them up. (I'm putting up C49xr's and probably 340N's). It's also possible they've changed the mounting hardware/method on later production runs. Perhaps Natan or Tom will comment... 73, Ty K3MM ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Smith" <n4zr@contesting.com> To: "Tom Brown" <tommytrot@hotmail.com>; <Force12Talk@qth.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 12:35 PM Subject: Re: [Force 12 Talk] Rivets > At 05:30 AM 2/27/01 -0500, Tom Brown wrote: > >Since I have been considering the purchase of a Force 12 antenna, I read > >with trepidation the comments of owners who have experienced this "fallout" > >problem.
