I Rich,
I usually slide a snug fitting hardwood dowel rod into the PVC to stiffen it up.
Good luck, Shanon KA8SPW

Building a quad for vhf for aprs.
I have tried metal boom (hopeless) plastic (ok) and wood (good)
I am open to suggestions on how to hold the vhf quad elements in place.
I have used dowel spreaders with notches cut into them before.
How about arrows ? they seem to have plastic bit at the end - a "bow nock"
I would like to try some more rigid wire this time, last time i used some failry flimsy stuff.
Got any tips for building 145 MHz quads ?
Cheers
