Ben,

I've found that will work as a temporary solution (i.e. for about a year in our area), but then the rubber starts breaking down from exposure.  

Thanks
Kenny

Can we use rubber strips or friction tape to improve grip?

This looks about right:

And I did find these earlier too:

The problem is I need to buy 9 of these to offset-mount the sector antennas, and that's adding up.

A decent suggestion!  However, the review on the only Radio Shack one I can find is not flattering:

And I can't find any such clamp @ frys.com.  Can you?

A better version can be found in the TV section at Radio Shack or Fryes.

Subject: [HamWAN PSDR] Where does one buy these V-Bolt clamps cheaply?

I'm thinking about $2.50/ea would be nice.  Muffler clamps are NOT adequate.  Muffler clamps have 2 semi-circle contact surfaces, and if the pipe is slightly smaller than the clamp, this creates a 2-point contact which causes rocking action.  Gross.  The nice toothed and V-angled designs here are the bomb.



Soup for scale.  :)
