Hi Gang,

The Lucite was cut on the bandsaw with care in preparation for 1/16" 
elements of brazing rod per N6NB's instructions if I'd dare.  OK, that's 
bad......

Anyway, I discovered that 1/16" brass brazing rod is MIGHTY WIMPY!  All my 
other VHF+ antennas have been made with 1/8" 5566 Al weld rod which is nice 
to work with.  Soooooo, has anyone made a 1296 QUAGI using 1/8" elements?

Thanks es 73,
Mark K2QO
