[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 968482, member: 325666"] I'm Impatient as hell ...and hate waiting for stuff that has to cure .. Here are some pics of the weatherproofing in progress .. The bottom ring or container forming a sealed socket for the tubes is a Hartleys Jelly pot ..cut to size and epoxied to the roughed up galvanized ground plane .. The bottom tube temporarily fitted and latex rubber poured in to make the seal... Sadly I have at least an hour to wait for the curing .. doh! [ATTACH=full]92429[/ATTACH] btw ..to increase the gain of this antenna ..simply add more 130mm sections and loops.. I guess there is a practical limit to this beyond which there is little gain advantage ..but worth keeping in mind.. I'll start saving more sealant tubes ..lol [/QUOTE]
