[ARC5] AN-104 aircraft antenna copper sheathing replacement.

[Ken]

Mark: there is thin, pure, solid-copper sheeting available from art supply stores which would be very easily formed around a wooden core or "mold". You might consider trying that yourself, if you cannot find anyone who does that commercially. The stuff is a little thicker than aluminum foil, yet strong enough to hold together well even after being worked.  I would wrap it around the core, solder it up the "back-side"  and form it around the top with a small hammer, if necessary, then connect it to the cable at the bottom.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone
