I have just purchased a new antena due to snaping it at the air field. the guy at the lhs gave me one but it is smaller in diameter (which i new when i bought it)and is only a couple of inches longer than the broken one is it ok to use or can i still use the broken one. also because the smaller one wont snap into place can i solder a washer to it in order to keep it in place?


Thanks, Dave Trimmer
