Joe, Amazon has those steel whips for about $65 each. Might I suggest a work around......Home Depot or Loews garden centers have green plastic 1/2" dia rods used for plant support. I think they have 8 footers but I know they have 6 footers, as I have a few.
Use 2 of these as support for 8.5 ft of wire 10 meters) wrapped around them. This makes a great dipole. Light weight and cheap. you might be able to use a 3/8 x 24 die to thread the center end to go into your center support, if you use one of the commercial centers.. 73 and GL...Rick -- W5RH On Mon, Oct 18, 2021 at 1:16 PM Joseph Benoit via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: > Hey.
