Default Building a marine type HF whip

I would recommend getting a glass fibre fishing rod and sliding copper
braid over it, then getting some thin glass fibre tape and resin and
taping over the braid. This is how some military vehicle whips are
constructed. You can then paint it if you wish.

Yeah, I used to frequent a place that had parts for people who like to make
ther eown fishing rods. They had a lot of great stuff that would be useful
for makeing antennas. I would think something like this should be available
on the internet.
