Re: [TowerTalk] Rotating Dipole

How about using some solid fiberglass rod for the coil forms?  You 
should be able to find it in diameters from 1/2" up to almost 2" if you 
search hard and long.
I'd use center-loading as opposed to linear-loading .. you can 
'link-couple' to the driven element, eliminating some feedpoint problems.
