Put up a Maco M106 horz. yagi and found a recommendation in the instruction sheet to increase antenna life afterwards.
Maco recommends to prevent elements from sign and harding from the vibration from light winds . To install a 1/4" or 5/16' plastic rope through the entire lenght of the elements. This should improve the elements from over-harden and becoming brittle and prone to cracking.
Has anyone done this ? How can a rope help?
I will be taking the antenna down soon to move it ,so i am asking for suggestions.
