On a home improvement show, I saw/heard reference to the use of Lexan as a
window pane material in Florida as a shatter-resistant material for
hurricane-prone areas.
1. I wonder if this application of the material would have the good RF
and physical properties of Lexan sheet in general.
2. Is the material readily available--and, if so, through what sources?
As a side note following the discussion of holding C3 elements at a
constant spacing, I wonder if it would be better (or not) to use a system
that pinned the spacer only to the longer/larger element, letting the
smaller element slide in a slot or hole. Locking both elements to the
spacer may create a rigid rectangle which would alter the element
flexibilities. However, not sure that this would make a significant
difference in element durability for either or both.
