Default Discone element needed.

Does anyone know where I can get a few elements for my discone antenna ?

I bought it from Tandy(a.k.a.Radio Shack) electronics in the late 80's
but don't know the manufacturers name.

Tandy was bought by Dick Smith electronics so I can't go back and ask.

The elements are stainless steel hollow tubes;
4.80mm OD x 81cm(approx) long.

Am in Australia so local would be best.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Boozo.


It hasnt been long ago that I saw a disk cone antenna in the local radio
shack here in the US. They are not that hard to make. Google diskcone
antenna and I am sure you will find plenty of plans.

I have the antenna but my nephew broke one of the elements off and now
only have 7 on the cone.
Don't know what he's done with the broken one.

Thanks, Boozo.
