For the folks that are constructing thier own yagis: What is the proper way
to make booms longer than the available tubing lengths. Specifically, if I
wanted to build one of Nathan's 36 foot 15M OWA beams what is the best way to
construct the boom? I assume some sort of splice joint using a piece of
tubing one size down and placed internally to form an overlapped joint. Not
sure how to properly phrase that, or what sizes to use to get a nice
"nesting" with proper strength... Also curious where folks are obtaining
thier aluminium tubing for booms and elements.
Cheers,
Mark
