![]() Hi Chris W There are some Machinest's Tools that include stalks that can be bent to various positions. I suspect those parts would be expensive. Jerry KD6JDJ "Chris W" wrote in message news ![]() The reason I am looking for the corrugated tubing is so it will stay where I put it. It is for a small LED lamp. 1/4" dia is about as big as it needs to be. Hal Rosser wrote: Take a trip to your local Home Depot or Lowes - plumbing dept. Look for a "coil" of copper tubing - have them show you various sizes. Though it's not corrugated, it is flexible - and you can use compression fittings - or - soldered fittings with threads. Makes for good 2-meter quad elements. use larger sizes for more bandwidth smaller sizes are more flexible, of course - what size are you looking for? my 2¢ worth found that cents-key hal - w4pmj "Chris W" wrote in message news ![]() Sorry for the of topic post but I don't know where to ask and it is my experience that people who build their own antennas can be rather resourceful. I'm not sure of the correct terminology to use but I have been trying to find some "corrugated" metal tubing with threaded attachments on the ends. Kind of like item 50035A661 from McMaster.com web site. The problem with the one on McMaster web site is they are larger than I want and I am hoping to find something with a more standard machine screw thread too. Thanks for the help. -- Chris W KE5GIX "Protect your digital freedom and privacy, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm" Ham Radio Repeater Database. http://hrrdb.com -- Chris W KE5GIX "Protect your digital freedom and privacy, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm" Ham Radio Repeater Database. http://hrrdb.com |
