Cathy,
I have some aluminum antenna tubing pieces from an estate sale several
years ago. They are from some mystery antenna that I could never I.D.
Probably a CB yagi. I have 13 pieces that are 4' x 1/2" and 4 pieces 3'
x 5/8". Would these be too fat? I'd like to donate them to the club,
if you can use them. If not, they're going to NEAR-Fest.

We need to purchase some 36" rods, 1/8" diamater, for antenna construction.
Ideally these would be aluminum, though steel or copper would work. They will become
director elements in an 8-element quagi.
I haven't been able to find a place that will sell 36" aluminum rods in 1/8"
diameter. I can find them in stainless steel from Grainger or other sources, but they'll
be heavier and conduct less well.
Cost is important so that everyone in the club can afford to build one of these
antennas.
Any suggestions for sources?
