VHF aerial tube
hughpinder - 15/2/12 at 11:46 AM

Trying to find some aly tube for a friend of mine for a VHF ham set up. What he needs is lengths of tube about 10mm dia and 1mm thick to repair the aerial (probably 3/8 inch *22 swg or there abouts in reality). He doesnt mind buying a 5 or 6m length of tube, but £400 for a new aerial was a bit offputting! The places I know dont seem to go as thin as the tube he has.

Anyone know any suppliers? Preferable Grimsby - Rotherham area

Thanks
Hugh

Cheers, from the photo in their catalogue it looks a bit thick, but I'll ask john if the actual thickness matters much.
