I had an unusual structural failure recently when all the bolts securing
the dome to the body of my antenna rotor apparently worked their way
loose, allowing the rotor to separate, unceremoniously causing my A3WS
and A4S beams to crash to the ground. Luckily there was no damage to
the roof off which they must have bounced on their way earthward. Most
of the damage to the beams involves the end sections of the elements,
which got pretty bent.
Here's my question: is there a way to straighten out the aluminum
tubing without breaking it? Does a tool exist to help do it?
Advice appreciated.
