Do to health reasons I haven't done much in the shop for a long time, But today I decided I needed to do something. I got a new ham antenna a few weeks ago and not being able to get the right size pipe I had to make a adapter to fit what I had.
I'm just getting back into ham after around 40 years ( like I need another hobby). Anyway the base of the antenna needed a 1 3/8 tube and I had a 1 5/8 pipe so I made a adapter that would fit over the pipe and a reduced part for the antenna.
I guess that SWMBO was feeling a little sorry for me because she got me a Kenwood TS-520 transceiver and other things I would need.
If anyone said a little prayer for my Cancer problem I want to think you. Ok on to the pictures.
