[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 970090, member: 325666"] Well .. no point in telling porkies .. Sad to say ..my idea for using inner and outer sleeves in ABS plastic is definately not happening .. Still not tried it outdoors ..but then I can't see any point .. Once the outer sleeve is placed over the active part of the antenna ..the rate of data detection is reduced considerably by about 60 to 70 % ... So this abs plastic outer shield is a barrier at threse frequencies ...whereas the thinner lighter sealant tubes are not... I guess my choices are to either bind the outside of the copper element with tape ? No idea how transparent tape is to signal .. laquer the copper and fasten it to the innner tube for support and takea change that it handles the uk weather ... Or look fr a 50mm tube in a different ...thinner ..less dense plastic.. I wont say I'm not disappointed but ...ya gotta try these things. [/QUOTE]
