Hi Steve,
One suggestion, if I may. When you come to assemble
the X500 HNA that you *really* "reef" down on the
screws that hold the inner electrical elements to-
gether.
I and a couple of friends tried these antennas, and
while they initially worked; over a period of time,
with the flexing in the wind, that the internal
elements start to come apart, usually on the worst
day (WX) possible !
Best of luck and vy 73 de John VE3NEC
