[LakelandARC] Antenna Aluminum Resource

[Ed Marchese]

I stopped in to visit that place last fall looking for aluminum tubing with the appropriate combinations of ID/OD sizes that I could telescope together to achieve the length I needed. The owner mentioned that sometimes tubing that is not specifically "aircraft grade" (i.e. T-6061-T6) can save you money. I don't know how valid that alternative is but you can research it on the net. Ask that question should you go shopping there. Ed - N2TE

Start a list!

  

Everyone always says that they should start a list of resources.  Hard to remember where you got the last stainless steel bolts or the replacement radial for an antenna they no longer make. Maybe hardware for a new project is your stumbling block.

Add this resource to your list.  Ed - N2TE brought this to my attention last year and I just passed it along to a friend that needed to find aluminum to repair his tri-band beam.  This is a good source for all of your aluminum needs.

  

Write it down. (In a place you will remember and not on the back of a receipt)  Now write down other resources.  Share them with friends.  Save this email. Pass it along to a friend.  

  

Please pass along other resources that you feel will be helpful to the club.  

  

I will add them to my list… as soon as I remember what I named the file.
