In that case,I ought to go into the Slinky exporting business.I can buy
them cheap over here and sell them over there.

BDK - On a Rope is right.

BDK,
Try a Slinky Dipole Antenna without an Inner
Rope Support - and you will really See SAG !

Picked up a couple of steel slinkys in my local Walmart a few weeks ago.

There is a Toys R Us (I wish I could type that R backwards) store on
Highway 80 within about a block of me and a wal mart store at the
intersection of Greenway Drive and Highway 18 about one and six tenths
of a mile South of me.I will check them out tomorrow for Slinky toys.

Best of luck!

I went to a TRU in Warrington, in NW England, looking for pretty much
the same thing - the looks I got asking for slinkys and hula-hoops - let
alnoe trying to explain that I wanted to make an aerial of it!

I didn't see any Slinky toys in the toy department (about 13 or 14
aisles of all kinds of toys and I walked every one of them twice) at the
wal mart store this afternoon.I am not going to worry about it.

I wonder if the steel Slinkys are still being made? I would like to try
out a Slinky antenna too.I owned one back in the 1950's.

Hi,

Yes they are. They are called the Cliffdweller II.

You can find the site on Google.

At MY WalMart when I asked around for Slinky I met a Vendor stocking
shelves who was a HAM, invited me to visit their meeting and said I'd
made a good choice for an improvisational antenna, told me how to rig it
using a WalMart telescoping fiberglass fishing pole
