Should we post here in MM or Inches?

How would you like me to list my dimensions for antenna design?

Since this is a Canadian Forum, is 180mm (7.0 in) OK? If it was an American Forum with Canadian members, I would use 7.0 in (180mm).

How do I describe 3/4" or 1" PVC pipe? I have searched other forums, and see dimensions listed both ways.

Thanks

Good point. Is 1inch pvc pipe sold in Canada as 25.4mm pvc pipe ??

Pretty much if you list the units, everyone knows what your talking about. Except maybe the old Canadian Imperial units.

I'm using 3/4in pvc to build six SBGH's. It started out as four, until I told two friends about the forum.

I needed wooden jigs to hold the pvc and keep it straight, and make assembly quick.

Yep, jigs are very handy for assembling this antenna. Also, as I noted earlier in this thread, using Plumbers Goop or Locktite Plumbers and Marine Adhesive will give about 45 minutes working time with pvc. The downside with that stuff is that it takes about 24-48 hours for a full set, and a week to get rock hard. So you have to be gentle with the assembly for a few days.
