Default But I don't have a lathe - - Part II

That's interesting. I made one in San Diego before I moved up here in '75.
It has been in fairly constant use for 30 years and never failed, even
though it is my antenna of choice for lash-ups and dog'n'pony shows at fly
ins.

Hm.

Jim


Dear Jim,

My initial efforts used that method. Unfortunately, both examples
eventually failed due to a fracture at the soldered junction between
the center-pin and the radiator. After that I simply filed a point on
the rod and allowed it to serve as the center-pin.
