[Milsurplus] How to ship antenna ?

[James M. Walker]

Go to Home-Depot, or Lowes, get a Cement Column form.
They are about 1/4 inch thick, come in sizes from 3 inches up
to about 3 feet in diameter. If you have a jig-saw you can cut
a pair of disks to fit in the ends from scrap wood, use counter
sink wood screws to close the ends off. FWIW, and as always
YMMV!
