[Rhodes22-list] More Newbie Questions

[John Tonjes]

Brad,
I took the wind angle indicator and threw it out. I simply don't like the
damn things. I get enough information by simply eyeballing the wind
indicator. Besides, it's just another thing to get knocked outa wack when
you lower or raise the mast.

Rummy,

What type mounting bracket does your Metz antenna use?
 I bought a Shakespeare with an "L" mount but if I
mount it at the highest point on the side of the mast
it still is about 1/4" to short for the wind angle
indicator on the windex to clear the mast (the vane
itself clears just fine).  I can probably add a spacer
(washer) to get the clearance  but there is probably a
better way.  Where's the photos?
