[amsat-bb] Re: where to get Fiberglass rod for elevation rotors

["Art McBride" <kc6uqh@xxxxxxx>]

Just a suggestion: 
Try wood dowel rod driven inside a schedule 20 PVC pipe.
These items should be available locally wood is several times stronger than
steel PVC protects the wood.

Wondering if anyone can suggest where they got their fiberglass
elevation supports for antennas from?

I have a friend who is looking for longer pieces than I have for
a project and I can't find any of the info that has been mentioned
on the -bb over the years. Probably just not doing the right word
searches.

Thanks,

James W8ISS
