Cushcraft Antenna Query
Anyone know what Cushcraft uses in their 2 meter and similar antennas to
secure the lower end into their base? It "appears" to be a white substance. Lots of hot melt glue? The substance gave way on an antenna I have here and I'd like to repair it. Thanks! |

I have seen oil impregnated nylons used for some large verticals. gb |
