Re: [Repeater-Builder] 6M duplexers using C02 bottles ?

2004-03-16 Thread Chuck Kelsey
People have used coffee cans, circuit board and fire extinguishers over the
years. Why not use gas bottles and air tanks, etc.

Commercially made cans like TX RX use aluminum irrigation pipe.

  Hi All, and greetings from the UK.
 
  Has anyone ever considered using 8.5 diameter 6ft high carbon
  dioxide bottles as those used in fire smothering banks as 6M cavity
  filters ?
 
  I know it may seem as a bit of a crazy idea but we have loads of them
  surplus at work! Any thoughts/designs would be much appreciated.
 
  Cheers Dave G7UZN London.

Use what you got to make what you need!

That is the fun of it all.

I liked using irrigation pipe.

---Aren't those made of steel? It seems to me they wouldn't be very
temperature stable. Not to mention the usual electrical considerations
(conductivity, size, etc).

There was an artical in one of the ham magazines where some hams had taken
the old soda/acid  ones and made a set for two meters.
Saw this years ago with a pix of same.
