[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 970932, member: 325666"] Done a bit more .. It occurred to be that I dont want to clamp low down at the 50 ohm connector end ...but indeed want the actual antenna (the white plastic 22mm tube) ...up in the air and clear of clamps .. How to achieve this and retain stability .. Then it came to be .. 2 shaped and cut down wrapover 22mm clip clamps place about 8 inches apart INSIDE a 40mm tube ...which is more rigid and easily clamped ... The 22mm is then free to slide inside the 40mm tube ...until it hits the 22mm joint sections ...acting as end stops .. This would also have the advantage that I could attach the 50 ohm cable first then extend the antenna to full height ..which would drag the cable up the iside of the 40mm ...providing both connectivity and an extra shield against the weather where the cable is connected .. perhaps better explained in pix .. so here they are.. scuse the untidy yard .. Always is when I'm working.. lol[ATTACH=full]93120[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
