Very good Colin.. Just had a thought.. Eventually, you could do a wrap-up video and run through all the thinking because I know you have done SO MUCH in the design of this..

Thats the plan. I will make an assembly video first then perhaps some additional like lessons learned.

Wow, your dedication to this project is outstanding, if I applied that much dedication to the wife, she might still be talking to me hi, but that's no too good either hi. I hope you get vk/ zl everyday after all this effort. No offense, but still prefer my 10min vertical and on the air hi. Can't wait to see your final on air results. 73

Just a thought, you could use solid wire jumpers instead of coax. Straight pieces with ring terminals on each ends. Thanks for the video

@MM0OPXFieldRadio 12 күн бұрын

Thats a brilliant idea, I wil take that forward. So the jumpers need to be the right sizes to be 50 ohms but thats workable.

Have you been enjoying the performance of the hex? I know the bands have been in the crapper for awhile.

Great for the little time its been up. Had one before and it was like shooting fish in a barrel a lot. More often that not I would have worked the station before the Amp warmed up.
