I want to make a VHF receiving dipole with say 1/4" tubing. Can you buy
plastic dipole centerpeices? TIA.


I mean a plastic center which has socket holes, which you push the tube
into.

For 2 meters I'd use 1/2 inch copper pipe for the dipole and then a
plastic "T" would work for the center insulator. Just glue the pipe
in place.
