[AReU] Home Brew Dipole Parts List

[Tony Stone]

I have generated a parts list that I hope is fairly complete on how to
construct the Buddy Pole look alike antenna that Rod (KC4MMR)
displayed at the last AREU meeting.

These parts are not the cheapiest materials available but the most
readily available. The two stores I shopped at are the Ace Hardware
at Bells Shoals and Bloomingdale Ave. and the Lowes On Causeway
Blvd. That's the one just West to Providence on the South side of
Causeway. The other ones should have the same stock. The parts
I bought at Ace may also be available at Lowes but I did not
check. I did what was the most convenient for me at the time.
I have the list in Excle format and if anyone wants it in this format
please request it by personal E-Mail. Some reflectors do not accept
attachments. I will also supply JPEGs of the construction details of
the "tee" and coil forms if requested.

Parts list is as follows:
