DX-Commander antenna driven plate hose clamp spacer.

This is a critical spacer designed to stabilize the 10 m high antenna at a precise angle. Its primary function is to ensure that the driven plate remains perfectly parallel to the ground plane plate, thereby minimizing any potential deviations caused by wind pressure. Without this essential component, the driven plate may become misaligned, resulting in decreased performance and increased variability. Although it will likely have no impact on SWR readings, for many individuals with autism, its presence provides a sense of visual balance and comfort. To maximize its effectiveness and UV resistance, use black ABS plastic.
