Antenna material and regulations

[SM0AOM]

Thanks a lot for very good tips, especially with EMC control plan! Is there any example available to be seen for reference?

I use the DI-EMCS-80199C "EMC Control Plan" as a template.

A plan can be made as simple or as complicated as you wish, but it contains six
major points;

* What is the purpose of the project?
* How should it be made?
* Who is responsible?
* What are the EMC requirements?
* How is it verified that it has been properly done?
* What is to be done if it does not fulfill requirements?

if these six points are part of the specification and entered into the contract, the customer (=you) has been covered. There are a few solar power suppliers who promise freedom from
RFI, and they mostly keep their word.

Hello and welcome Goran!
Your first question:

Any tips on where to buy aluminium tubes and rods to build HF and VHF antennas?

I buy all my aluminium parts at Hornbach. https://www.hornbach.se/c/jarnvaror/profiler-plat/metall-plastror/S17066/
