[Antennas] Ok Folks, here is a good one...

[cboone@earthlink.net]

DONT use copper...its too soft....Plumber Delight uses aluminium
conduit or tubing.....because of its strength...

I have some plans for a 6mtr yagi that I once built...the plans are
for a 5 element, I shortened it to a 4 element...worked great!
I'll dig it up and try to scan it in...

You can use welding rods on 2mtr elements...but they are hard to attach
and scale the 6mtr plans down to 2mtrs...
