## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ANTENNA IS INSTALLED ON THE AIRCRAFT FOR AN OSAT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AS PART OF AN STC. CRACKS WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST GENERALLY ARE HAIRLINE FRACTURES 3 INCHES UP FROM THE BASE, THIS ONE IS ALSO CRACKED COMPLETELY AROUUND THE BASE AT THE CUTOUTS FOR THE TWO AFT ATTACHMENT SCREWS.  THE ANTENNA WAS REPLACED.
