guys are great, and the response I received to my plight was overwhelming, and in the traditional ham radio spirit. Now, the good news: a few of you suggested that I try switching the ends around of the pieces I was trying to assemble and see if the holes lined up then--and lo and behold, they did! Every single time. I am just about done assembling (rivets and all) the 6 elements of the underlying C-3S before moving onto the two 40M elements of the C-4SXL. I feel almost sheepish explaining this, as typically I do check things a number of ways before raising a flag. I did try some of the A side pieces on the B side (almost sounds like 45 RPM records--dating myself!), which a few of you also suggested. But it was counterintuitive for me to put the swagged end the other way, so I didn't try, but that was the solution. Understanding the concern my post raised, I also want to emphasize that every single hole has lined up as advertised--I don't want Force 12 to get a bad rep for no good reason (let it be a good reason ;-)). This method of assembly does beat the painstaking measure and bolt process. I spent many a steamy summer night after work putting together a TH7. Many thanks again to all who responded and shared their experience. 73, K9IR -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
