Made one 4 years ago from scrap heavy gauge copper sheet roofing ($1 a pound
at the local metal scrap dealer). Laminated it to a doughnut shaped piece of
1/2" lexan about 18" in diameter, drilled 32 1/4" holes around the
perimeter, attached 16 27' #16 insulated copper radials to that (I have more
to put out), with a single piece of copper strap to the base of a Hy-Gain
14AVQ. Used stainless machine screws/hardware from the Ace Hardware store,
hasn't given me any problems or corrosion yet, works fine. Eventually turned
a nice shade of neutral weathered green, gives a nice camo effect in the
antenna farm.
