About once every 6 months have to re-tighten it.

Nope...I just replaced my antenna with a low-pro and that is the first time it's been touched since the first time I tightened it in November 2002 when I bought the truck.

I knew the history of these antennas, so one of the first things I did when I bought the truck was take a wrench to the antennna. 2 1/2 years later it was still as tight as I left it.

Good idea to check the tightness periodically. They can loosten up.
