Horizontally polarized antennas (Hpols) for the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) currently face broken connections risks and lengthy build times. Our objective is to mitigate both of these issues while minimizing Hpol-to-Hpol variation through a new connection design. This new approach utilizes a mechanical connection instead of the previously employed soldered connections, aiming to enhance the physical robustness of the antennas. We present the results of the design testing and future developments for RNO-G Hpols.
