3 foot 3/4 inch wooden dowel or broom stick. Put a rubber bicycle handle bar grip on one end. Use 1/2 to 1 inch braid 3 to 4 foot long with large alligator(crocodile) clip on one end and the other end soldered to a large nail in the other end. That's how we made them back in the late 50's.
The one I have, was supplied by John/W5MEU(sk - RIP). It is a phoenelic rod, about 2 feet long, with a threaded peice of metal that screws into the phoenolic, has a flat-washer, one end of 1/2" wide, stainless-steel clad copper braid, about 4 foot long, attached to the rig's front panel, and one of the screws holding in one of the decks.
