Summary

WIP collapsible Helicone Antenna with brass rods as hinges and a flexible wire mesh as the cone. Also needs a lot of m2 self tapping screws...

Rubber bands go into the slits to make it stay open. Normal ones degraded after a few months. Cheap hairties too. Silicone bands seem to work much better. Some 10cm diameter silicone jar seals have been holding up for 2 months now!

for the mesh do not use:

  • thick aluminium mesh (it will permanently deform)
  • any steel mesh (same thing, though very fine steel mesh will last longer)
  • dense metallized nylon mesh (it acts more like plastic sheets)

Most promising material so far:

  • fine silver coated nylon mesh
