    "content": "This method works well and many of us making VHF Quads/Quagis have been doing this since the 80's. But why go to the expense of Fiberglass tubes - we use thick wall UV-PVC with a wooden down inside to stiffen giving it much strength. \n\nI use PVC w/wood for the Quad boom and vehicle Mast for \"T\" hunting. Trust me, high vehicle speeds and low tree limb grabbers we find during a southern California T-Hunt is very stressful to any vehicle antenna/mast above the hole in our vehicle roof. Some of us use Gorilla-Glue as a filler between the dowel and PVC (as Gorilla-glue expands making a solid fit). \n\nI use 1.25\" PVC sched-80 w/wood for my SAT antenna cross-member boom - keeping it non-conduction/metal free to insure no skewing of the directional lobes within the field pattern.   \n Best regards,   \nDale Kubichek, MS-EET, N6JSX\nSidney, OH 45365  EN70vh\n\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/HAM-SATs\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/RDF-USA\nMessage: 3\nDate: Fri, 25 Mar 2016 06:04:55 -0500\nFrom: Alan <[email protected]>\nTo: \"'AMSAT -BB'\" <[email protected]>\nSubject: Re: [amsat-bb] Fiberglass Poles for Antenna Mounting?\nMessage-ID: <[email protected]>\n\nAnother trick for strengthening fiberglass tubing is to get wood round stock at Lowes or Home Depot that \nwill just fit inside the tubing.  Years ago I found something which was a perfect friction fit, though \nobviously it depends on the tubing.  Cut the wood about 2\" shorter than the tubing, and center it \nleaving a 1\" space at each end.  I stood the tubing on end, and filled the top with RTV.  After it \nhardened, I reversed the tubing and repeated the process.  The result was lighter than a solid \nfiberglass rod, waterproof, and lasted for 15 years until the whole thing came down in a windstorm.\n73s, Alan WA4SCA\n\n",
