    This antenna is already sold and was a custom build. I dont normally build these. Plus it was a huge pain in the ass to machine. Ill make anybody one, but it aint cheap and ill need a 50% deposit. Price will be $650.00. but the ears on this thing are like no other! Just waiting to get some conditions soni cam beat it up a little before shipping it out.

    ROFLMFAO..... Noizy.... ya just scared 9ths of cbers... cause they are cheap MOFO's...... If ya got time... I will call ya on a better antenna metal... But most will be skeptical on what metal resonates better than copper..... But then again...... Most would not be able to afford to buy it. (The other metal)

    Thats ok Skyhawk. I dont know if i want to be building alot of these. I have to take em to my friends shop to mashine them- thats 1hr 15min away (one way). so have to calculate gas and 2.5hr road time. lol We are looking into other nice metals that are better to machine. The better it is to machine, the cheaper it will be.

    So why solid instead of hollow or was that just the way he wanted it because radiate of the surface skin effect so solid or hollow makes no performance difference diameter

    Solid due to how soft copper is. Silver is a harder metal...

    Copper isn't that soft compared to aluminum that most antennas are made of

    I would think it's a lot heavier though, a lot more maintenance too keeping the oxidation off. They should use that for key down trophies, that would look awesome. Real nice work noisemaker.

    actually it is. aluminum is very machinable and there are different grades of aluminum so there is softer stuff out there, but most if the stuff we see is t6 which is nice to work with. C110 copper on the other hand is like hard bubble gum to machine. It chips and will gum up the slightest sign of heat. Aluminum spreads the heat out alot better than copper.
