This is what i did.
Slide the aluminium grounding ring with extensions over the pushup pole and tighten the bolt that holds it in place with a copper wire around that bolt.
Then attach the other end of the coper wire to a bolt on the aluminium mounting plate of the Imax.

Only problem is SWR went from 1.2 to 1.6
What are the thoughts of the techs on this matter.

DX is Still good
