I have been thinking about trying to make them into one larger antenna rod for receiving only. Would I get any advantage over a normal short single rod, or do the advantages from one aspect get cancelled out by other aspects. I'm sure this must have been tried out before any advice would be appreciated. If I was to put them into an overlapping bundle should the separate bars be a)in physical contact with each other b) completely isolated from each other c) if glued together is there a specific "glue" that should be used happy new year to all on list regards peter G8AFN -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
