[amsat-bb] Screw threads on Arrow?

[David]

So you guys got me thinking, after looking at these elements and measuring
it realized something... these look like Aluminum Arrow shafts, and the
inserts might be the arrow broadhead insert.. which all parts are readily
available at most sporting good stores for building you own arrows (yes I am
a hunter and used to bow hunt)

I will double check this and let you all know, I'll have to do this later
today after I'm off work.. but if this is the case replacements should be
very easily created.

Ahh yes, my mistake... Anyway there is a spare parts list that came with the
antenna (I have it) but it does not list size, it says 2 - 1/4 stud.. but
that does not answer your question..

If you need this list or would like it I can scan it and post it or send it
to you..

Sorry for the confusion

I was going to answer this then realised he is really talking about the
elements themselves? I've not looked yet.
