hy~gain clr2
after 3 years up on the stack the new old stock clr2’s swr went into the red, went up yesterday evening to have a look and part of it has broken at the base, looks as though it’s been eaten away by corrosive smoke from the fires we have in winter, the same thing happened to the starduster i had up, but i just put it down to salt air living close to the sea, ill put some pics up of the damage when i get it down, ive got some other stuff to put up though, hygain penetrator 500, avanti astroplane, shakespeare big stick, vector 4000, so off air temporarily

Maybe metal fatigue helped that along? Too-ing and fro-ing in the wind over a couple of years may have been enough to weaken it and corrosion compounded it.

Re: hy~gain clr2
How do you rate this antenna ?
I have a Sirio 827 and looking for something different.
Super penetrator 500 also on the short list

It'll look awesome, although it's one big bugger. Diameter of the legs is about 15ft
