    Amazing what a fella can do with a bit of wire!! For god sake get some wire strippers !!! I had shivers going up my back when you were striping that wire.. lol VE1SK

      hahahaha, you're the best Steve! It's kinder on the teeth than fishing line, as long as you don't bite the copper wire bit, hahaha. Ok wire strippers next time buddy I promise, and I'll turn OFF the TX on the radio when touching the wire hahaha. Cheers my friend. Thanks for everything Steve

    A good way to use excess ethernet cables for simple, inexpensive antennas. In my case, I use old cable to make ground radials for vertical antennas. It's like getting new antennas for next to nothiong in cost. Great project!

    My 80.40.20 Meter Antenna Is In Attic, 3th Floor Attic, Splits In The Middle Of The House, Inside The House Its A Thich Braided Solid Copper Wire, 12 Lines Of Thick Copper Lines Twisted Together, At The End Of Each Pole Wich Is 400CM Is A Solid Copper Lugs , then at the logs there are same thickness wire, BUT not braided, but solid wire that goes oout of te attic to my property fencing, one side is grounded, otehr is not, so the grounded one i use as minus and the other as conductor, works good, at nights i can get whole Russia, Asia, Europe, Sometimes Even North America And Other Countries That Ar That Far. :)

      @thehamjazz  Місяць тому +1

      Hey Tony, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I run 100W through that wire. To be honest mate, if you have it totally resonant, I think you could run 200W through it. I never have problems with 100W. Happy building mate. Cheers!

    • @TonyYarusso
      @TonyYarusso Місяць тому

      @@thehamjazz Wow. I definitely would have guessed something under 100W for how small that stuff is! You’re giving me ideas for investigating what you could do with them multi-band still inside the jacket for tidiness.

    • @thehamjazz
      @thehamjazz  Місяць тому

      @@TonyYarusso Hey buddy, thanks for your comment. The issue you will find with the wires inside the jacket is that there will be more capacitive coupling affect - meaning the wires will kind of cancel each other out, and it will act more like '1' wire - but hey, go for it and try. That's what this fabulous hobby is all about. Happy building mate! cheers
