[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 969085, member: 325666"] Having discovered that they use a 2 inch (50mm) plastic pipe in plumbing ...I will have a walk round to my plub centre after the weekend .. Apparently a 12 element antenna is optimal for Practicality v Gain ... I think I'll make a 12 element non coaxial collinear of the same wire design as the short one already made .. I have enough galvanised steel left for another ground plane ... rgds VS I'd make it out of 8mm copper tube ...but not sure I could bend those loops efficiently.. hwever they do sell 2.5 mm capillary copper tube on fleabay .. hmmm .. need about 1600mm for 12 elements ..which when constructed would only stand 120 cm tall .. A nice length ...and practical. [/QUOTE]
