The ugly balun (choke) remains wound around the PVC pipe, search online for ugly balun, prevents feed-line from coupling with the antenna. Keep up the good work Rekindling The Reformation !!
@JGFowler121 Thank you for the reminder. I'll do one this week. I'll have to say, it works quite well. In the past 30 days, I've worked almost all of South America.
That would'nt last a year where i live im on the east coast of the uk by the sea the wind can get brutal, seen too many snap. yes its a better antenna than most fibreglass ones but i would be replaceing somthing like that every year.
@magicman11964 Hi there, thank you for the comment. I actually upgraded to RG8U about a month after this video. The losses for RG58A/U were much too high on ~28 mhz. Stay tuned, I will have some new videos of my tower up very soon.

KD8NPB, thank you! I don't use CB band much anymore.
Nice video. Do you have a followup video you can post, showing your setup completed?

Alright, video is up.
Does tripods work good?
your antenna install is gud, u should have used rg-8u or rg 213.you give alot of tvi with rg-58u.
Of course, you'll get a license to transmit on ten meters...right?
