Hi all:

I am recovering from a lightning event at W3BW on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
 I have lost 3 PolyPhaser 1S-RCT.  These units have become hard to find and
incredibly more expenseive than in 1999 when my tower went up.  I have
decided to try using an Array Solutions ASD-16SP which protects 16 lines.

All of that is a lead-in to my question.  The mounting approach for the
AS-16SP is different from that for the PolyPhasers.  i need to find some
thick copper sheet that I can bend to fabricate the mounting I need.

Can anyone recommend a supplier for copper sheet --- maybe 1/8" to 3/16"
thick --- and available in sizes of about 1ft. by 4" or bigger?

Thanks.  BTW, The PolyPhasers protected all my remote relay lines --- those
relays are cheap and in the base of the tower.  I did not get the same
protection for the rotor lines --- lost my Orion rotor --- expensive and at
the top of the tower.  Oh well....
