news:iKemg.4278$Td6.1753@trnddc08... Do you know the aproximate price of a blank? No, he didn't say. Sorry. I suspect they're not generally available. From what I've heard before, these are made with their super secret process, and each manufacturer is slightly different. Not important when making an antenna, but the bow hunters have their preferences. -- Gerry |

I could probably have searched for a source of fiberglass tubes, but I thought I'd take advantage of your familiarity. Jerry |

Hello,
That's true at UHF but it should be OK at least for the 2m band depending on the PVC type. The better choice is PTFE but it's not really cheap! Another alternative is glass fiber (or wood). 73 de F8BOE Olivier ...-.- Al Dykes wrote: A friend is telling me that PVC has crappy electrical characteristics and having my wire against it for the entire antenna not good. I've been making simple VHF antennas with small diameter PVC pipe cut and glued to make the rigid structure and then taping 12ga copper wire to the PVC to make the elements. Should I switch to something else ? |
