I built one using 1/2-inch electrical conduit (steel) and clamped
each half to a 1-inch thick board with conduit clamps ran coax to the
dipole an trimmed length to get good SWR. I assume you know how to
calculate a half wavelength (cut the tubing about 2-inches long so
you have some material to cut off (it will resonate low in freq to start).
Probably better if you can find some 1/2-inch aluminum tubing (my
local metal dealer would have to order that so I used ordinary conduit).
I made a 3-element yagi this way and a 27-MHz J-pole using conduit
(for a friend).

Many thanks for all the nice responses.
I didn't give the background of my request...I have built lotsa wire
dipoles. ?However I wanted to build a rigid 6m dipole. ?And if
someone else has done it with accompanying explanation and diagram, I
can build it without having to think...always a good thing for me ?:-)
Thanks to all,JohnK5ENQ
