[amsat-bb] Fibreglass tube for G5500?

[Chris Bloy]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone in the UK know where the best place to buy fibreglass antenna
pole for the G5500?

 

I have two WiMO X-Quads mounted currently on a 6ft aluminium pole, but they
are back mounted and are quite heavy on the rotator (Forward motion!)

 

So, I was wondering, can I get say a 1 ½ fibreglass pole and then slip the
slightly small aluminium pole inside to give extra strength without
affecting the radiation pattern?

 

I have google’d a couple of places and it appears I need to get tubing but
not sure if anyone has any experience in this department?

 

Many Thanks,
