Afternoon everyone,
I'm rebuilding my Bugcatcher antenna. It works well, but the XYL had a bit of an accident last year when we had a big snowstorm, the leaves weighted down the limbs, and the antenna, which was strapped down, still managed to introduce itself to a limb. Anyhow, the original antenna was mounted using 1 inch thick plexiglass, with holes drilled to run the mast through, and tapped screw holes to mount to the back up plate, in turn mounted to the spare tire holder. I'm trying to make something a little prettier now that I'm rebuilding it. But the thing is, I'm curious about the material. Is there any particular material to avoid? I know Plexi works, but what about PVC? Delrin? Bondo? 8^) Miiling, water absorption, etc? - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
