Im going to try one more time the walmarts around me are out of poles so I had a brain storm I know you guys are saying we are in trouble now so anyway Ill post pictures as i go
Thank You Gary Its Fiberglass just what Homer told me to get... I also dragged the antenna to the middle of the yard away from house etc and no change Its obvious I had to of done something wrong
I will try and explain more clearly, I did not know PVC will block the lower RF I was just going by other plans Ive seen using PVC on the lower part of Dipole, Number 2 The length of coax the parts of the coax going threw the copper is intact, I cut about 3 inches stripped outer cover off to...
At this point I'm lost..... Ive made 3 and non has had a low SWR as of yet So i think in my situation a dipole is out of the question .......I know there are no shorts and I'm confident I'm building correctly ....Its probably all in where I'm positioning them....I'm limited on that without...
]yeh IM not sure what Im going to do but Dipoles dont like me If i decide it will either be a Imax 2000 or A Maco Alpha not sure yet maybe a Hygain Penatrator who knows
I tried for the second time I just cut a RG8x mini patch :cord anyway cut 106" of 12 gauge wire pulled it threw the pole ran the rg8 threw the 3/4 inch copper stripped the end of the rg8 about 3 inches used the shielding twisted it solder it then soldered the shielding inside the copper pipe...
well finish it and 6.0 trim till the stinger was 95 inches I GIVE UP either coax is bad or?? Im outa coax so will have to drive an hour to get that nobody withing 60 sells coax unbelievable pole probably wasted now do to trim and no patience..
So I measured 9ft of copper wire 12 gauge i know long but will trim later,,,, now with that pole which is 13ft I can only use 3 out of the four sections cant use the butt end....now I inserted wire as far as it would go measured and so on I measure 8' 6" (102") from the butt end to the tip...
lmao I was going to do that but I wanted to make sure i got the pole they had no shake spears so i grabbed the black widow same thing i hope inside too
What I think ill do since i have 1/2 copper here and plenty of 3/4 Ill try and keep all the connections inside solder the...
I like it I wish I ran across this plan earlier ....But we defiantly need a choke for this correct? Ill be placing this on a 10 ft mast and dont know if I have enough rg213 to make the choke and have it up there. Id like to build it today but the nearest place to get any type of coax is over...
