[TowerTalk] Isoloop Packing

[Jack Berry]

I suspect the loop wasn't mounted to the pole when it was shipped new. Flat
loop and collapsed pole should ship pretty cheaply. Can you
disassemble/break it down to any extent?

Subject: [TowerTalk] Isoloop Packing


I need to ship an Isoloop antenna to my son-in-law 2500 miles away. I went
to
a local pack 'n ship place and got some prices on shipping alone; would you
believe costs for shipping started around $135 (Fed Ex Home Delivery) to
about
$550 for motor freight??? That's for an antenna that I paid less than $100
for
at a hamfest!
Surely, there's a better way...
My question: can I bend/form the loop strap (without breaking it) in such a
way that I can put it in a smaller box (than with the circular loop -- about
46" in diameter)?
Some of you may have bought or handled an Isoloop a few years back. How was
it packaged to ship?
Thanks,
Bert, N4CW
