Anyone know where I can get a small corona ball that I can put on the end of a 102" whip? The little itty bitty useless one that was on there got whacked off somewhere. I used to have a nice one on a whip that someone gave me, but some jerk stole the whip. Anyone have any clue where to find something like this? (I kinda need it!)
 

Odd coincidence...I was just looking there last night, and even emailed Charlie about something else but didn't see that. I think that one is a BIT bigger than necessary for my application!
 
Have him turn it down to a smaller size. What about the one on Kale's antennas? Is that too big?

Are you going to the huge Southern CA break this weekend in Long Beach?
 
Moleculo,

Go to your local tackle department and get a small fishing weight (you'll know what size you need when you see it). Carefully drill out/enlarge the hole in the center. Use some JB Weld to secure it to the whip. You won't be able to tell the difference. Now if your whip is extra "skinny", my idea would be a "flop"! :p I've got a couple of whips with fishing weights on them! :D
