5 band Hexbeam Antenna homebrewing in Bangalore: Jan-Feb 2011

Hi all,
I am planning to homebrew Hexbeam with fiberglass spreaders and 1.5 sqmm insulated wires. I have already ordered 3 extra sets of fiberglass spreaders and wires for the project.
I am looking for fabricating base plates and buying hoseclamps, support cords etc as well. ( any knowhows on suppliers and fabricators would be helpful)

If any one is interested in homebrewing, please let me know. we can share the actual costs and build quality HF 5 bander.

Items to be collected in Bangalore only. Please leave a comment to this blog if interested.
