If you want to retain the stock center-pin, I suggest you stick to wire
rather than rod, using fiberglas arrow-shaft stock or even Nyla-flow
tubing to give the radiator sufficient body. Injecting epoxy into the
nylon tubing then clamping the tubing straight until the epoxy cures
results in a surprisingly rigid structure, although I've never used
that method for an aircraft antenna.

if you stripped the shield off of the end 25 inches of coax, threaded
the conductor in the nylaflow tube and filled it with epoxy, wouldnt
that work without needing a connector?

serious question.
