i got a little done on the antenna today and heres a few pics .
heres the bottom bracket . its just 5 inch pieces of 1 inch aluminium angle 1/16 inch thick with a couple of cuts in the sides .
heres one bent more or less into shape .
here they are on the 1 5/8 inch aluminum tube .
i made slits on the end of the 1/2 inch tubing and it slides perfectly over the tab for the bottom of the basket elements . they will be flattened on the end and a 1/4 inch SS bolt , lock washer and nut will fasten them together .
id appreciate some opinions here . i can put the mobile stud (that the bottom of the gamma tube will connect to) right between the tabs , but id like to have it out a lil bit . i just made a mark on a piece of scrap aluminium with a circle where id like to put the stud mount and a line where it will be cut off . should i be ok out a lil or keep it in as close as possible ?
can someone tell me how to make my pics smaller ?
im just using the "img code" from photobucket .
its supposed to be nice here the next few days so hopefully i can get it together over the weekend . more pics will come as i plod along :headbang
