I noticed you put your parts in a small metal bowl. I’m an old fart I grow up with HealthKit. In those days we would separate our different parts in a muffin tin. It has 8-12 individual muffin spots. You might find this method is a better system. But I always had to ask Mom if I could use the muffin tin.
The sad thing is, some of those videos came across my suggested UA-cam videos for some random reason and I watched a couple. I think it was for Wendy's now that I think of it though.
Should have run it into a 25 ohm load and a 100 ohm load (resistors) to show that the 2:1 SWR function would work. Also could have used intermediate values to see how the lights would respond.
That's a cool idea but sadly I don't this would hold up to a 17' whip without breaking, never mind the fact I'd have to figure some way to get from the 3/8 24 thread to BNC. I've got a couple MFJ loaded whips with BNC that I imagine are supposed to be resonant, but they aren't even close.
@@hamradiotube No.....I was referring to , as an example a Ten meter telescoping antenna with a BNC already attached to the Antenna ! Much like the ones for various Bands that MFJ sold ! They are not that large ! I have a Ten meter handheld, that I have worked a number of Countries, not to mention State side contacts, using an 8 foot counterpoise ! Sorry for the misunderstanding ! Thanks ! 👍😉
with a few adapters it might work on a little HT since they are mostly low power. Although the band that you try it on may not allow it to work but still a nice little kit to build... Thanks Vic de KE8JWE
Now, it truly is anticlockwise so get it right. We also know how to say, spell and pronounce solder correctly as well. Ok so you lot from over there might be able to spell solder, but that's about as good as it gets.😆
Nice looking solder joints.

This looks like a really fun kit. Thanks Mike
You should tray a 100 Ohm resistor and perhaps a couple other values to test the SWR scale as best as possible.
Good one, Mike. Your production quality is getting to be first rate. Fun project!
Sweet project.
Cool project. I want one! Nice video, thanks
"Oh hi there!" makes me think of a Burger King employee orientation video intro.

A nifty project and very handy.👍
Mike, is it better to place the choke at the radio or the coax at the antenna? Thanks Roger w8rlp
Nice soldering job, sir! It looks like a fun project. Not very expiensive, and quit useful for Pota, Sota, QRP, etc.
I love the shirt.
Ha, thanks. I think I got it at Target.

I just realized that you live 8 miles from me. This makes me excited! Do you join any nets here?
Well come on out to Huntsville state park this Saturday for Support Your Parks weekend. We'll be There at 11am until around 4.
I would like to see it attached to a telescoping whip, and then adjust the length for resonance !
👍😉

Hook it up to a known antenna that is not 1:1 and see if it’s accurate.

lol you fool, it's pronounced solder 🤣
would that work with aprs ? lol just kidding
