> We are leaving today for Europe and of course I waited until the last minute to take down my Arrow antenna, which has been mounted outside for about a year. But, when I attempted to unscrew the elements, they would not budge, even after receiving a big dose of WD-40. And the elements are not that solid so it's not possible to use a great deal of force. > > Is there some trick to unscrewing these things? > > 73, Bill NZ5N (soon to be OM9ACA, look for me on AO-7) > > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via [email protected].
