Nice work, Bob.

Wonder where you obtained the 'C' channel.

Wonder if Home Depot or Lowes has it?

Between the "C" Channel inside the long booms and the under boom support, an amazingly strong antenna. I think it will hold up well in the wind.
Yes it probably will hold up fine.

A few years ago, did a similar thing with MCM 30-2370's, but used round tubing inside the boom.
Think it was 3/4 inch square tube to join and reinforce the cradles.

It is located in KY, and has seen some ice and high wind.
