The parts for this simple DIY build probably already exist in your shack? Againprobably. Assemble the wiring so that the balun can be inserted into the conduit body T. Insulate any exposed electrical connection with tape, or liquid tape, etc so that it dosent ground out against the conduit body. 0000008412 00000 n researching the antenna.If anyone has the old QST's referenced above 5/8 Wave 10m Vertical Antenna Build March 05, 2022 5/8th Wave 10m Vertical Antenna Build If you have an old CB (11-meter) 5/8 wave antenna, you may be able to convert it to 10 meter use.

Around!SEARCHCQ-Calling All It seems like all of the antennas that include these two bands are also designed for other HF bands and are typically pretty large (and expensive!). - Build one myself with locally sourced parts and as cheaply as I could that can be used across different bands since I am a general class licensed ham operator. SWR is under 2:1 from 26.960MHz to 29.890MHz. Hb```f``a`e`cf@ (qMA-my_PP rP Xt-AAN>@ L@ I dont really use it much except for projects like this because CB bands have went to toilet talk and I really dont want to listen to all that mess. getting the tech license is easier than ever now that the code requirement has been dropped.

Insulated up to 14,500 I was actually planning to reuse it as a 10 meter or 6 meter dipole oriented to a horizontal orientation. All you need to do is install the 1/2 inch Aluminum tubing at both ends of the 10 Meter and 6 Meter antennas, adjust them to the proper length and tighten the hose clamps that hold them in place.

(Been there done that and it's a PAIN). In this video from AC2RJ, we see how some well-placed trees, a camera tripod, a telescoping fiberglass mast, and a "V" antenna can get you on the air without a lot of effort. many challenges to the ham radio operator but when everything, including It's a cylinder about 2 to 3 inches tall and about an inch round.
