[TowerTalk] homebrewing yagis

[KI7WX@aol.com]

For the folks that are constructing thier own yagis:  What is the proper way 
to make booms longer than the available tubing lengths.  Specifically, if I 
wanted to build one of Nathan's 36 foot 15M OWA beams what is the best way to 
construct the boom? I assume some sort of splice joint using a piece of 
tubing one size down and placed internally to form an overlapped joint.  Not 
sure how to properly phrase that, or what sizes to use to get a nice 
"nesting" with proper strength...  Also curious where folks are obtaining 
thier aluminium tubing for booms and elements.  

Cheers,

Mark
