Can anyone steer me where to get a foot or so of the small 50 ohm 
line so I can make a few antennas?

I've been searching mouser to no avail.

Maybe something like eBay listing  380470709575  ?

Search in  'Business  Industrial' for 141

For some reason my outlook express gets really confused with these mail lists 
(or maybe it's me).  That said, when I see my replies, they look perfectly fine 
in my outlook express, plus when I look in in the archived browser the message 
seems to be in correct order too.  Maybe someone can fill me in how to reply 
without having to type in all the header information which is a real pain.

I was wondering while I was messing with this project if anyone has tried a 
Lindenblad for 1.575 GHz?  I can see making the phasing lines would be 
problematical, but the pattern looks right.  What I intend on making to start 
with is this one.  http://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/navsats/analog.html and using 
an MAALSS0042 as the amp right at the antenna.

Thanks for the links, I may have found what I need.

Would running RG-316 thru a hollow brass tube work?  These are available 
at most hobby stores in a variety of sizes and they are solderable.

Lacking any actual hardline, I ran RG-174 in brass tube from the hardware
store and had excellent results.

what size (0.141, 0.085, 0.047 OD)?


You probably won't find it at Mouser type places.  RF Coax, Pasternak, 
etc. are better bets. Uniform Tubes might send you a sample.

Go to eBay and search for semi rigid coax

If you know the RG designation for the specific size you are looking for,
search for that.

Mouser and Digikey don't carry.  And the people that do will have minimum
buys you are unlikely to be able to afford.

Look for listings by eBay id: de_w7eme
Or contact Jeremy directly (W7EME) and see if he can help you out.
