i was wondering about that...

we've thought about using aluminum, too... just a matter of bending it without 
collapsing the tube...

 EV> Another brand I could had bought had 3 loops - each one stacked above
 EV> the other.

this sounds like what i described that i want to do... that's why i was asking 
about the spacing between the loops and if it is critical or not...

 EV> Halo Antennas were also made for the 146 Mc. Ham Band.

ahhh... halo antenna... another search term to play with ;)
