Having said what I did about carbon fiber, some folks make the antennas themselves out of carbon tubing. If you can get the right stuff that will allow a solidly conductive connection to the tube (aluminum spacer inside with a screw and terminal through the bottom, perhaps), that'd probably wo

There are no KR2S plans. You have to buy the KR2 plans and the KR2S Supplement plans, to build a KR2S. So might as well get a deal on the KR2 plans. ttcse/Tom wrote: = Darn, if only the your plans were KR-2S.  I'm looking to get an unappreciated set of that.
