I have some new heavy 1 1/2" wide copper strap for sale. I think it is .015 thick, possibly a little more. Polyphaser sells it for $1.92/foot plus shipping. This is available for 50 cents a foot, not much more than scrap copper. I'm taking orders, minimum of 10 feet. Let me know. Email: w0sr at arrl.com Phone: 319-393-7353 73, Jim W0SR
