Our newest version of our fiberglass tube parts kit follows the currently specified (ALTERNATE) cut lengths called for on Leo Shoemaker’s website, HERE. In the original article Leo specified 58 inch lengths of the 1 inch tube, but changed to the current 48 inch lengths as the additional did not add to strength and added additional weight. He has since set the standard lengths to 48 inches.
If you are building your antenna using Leo’s instructions on his current website, we suggest this kit.
This fiberglass kit is also fine for building the broadband version!
