Nice build Bob, one thing that might help when twisting the wire pair together on the toroid is an inexpensive pair of 6” safety wire pliers ($10) from Harbor Freight. Makes for a nice wrap and clean look. de k8wf…
You are lucky to have such ready to use kits to buy. Here we have to source each part separately and finally I end up with very little homebrewing! 73 de Jon, VU2JO
Really nice build, we encourage people to make it their own. And we provide the holes to do builds like you did here!
Thanks Chuck, its a great kit! Love that winder!

Thanks for the tip, I'll need to check that out.
Nice clean build! I would probably test the build before I put on the shrink tubing. Like the banana clips ideas as well. 73
Thanks. As I was applying the heat I was thinking "you know, if you screwed this up...."
Great video!
Thanks James; glad to see you stop buy. The shirt makes me look pretty good!
Great build video and explanation. Thanks. :)
You bet. I love soldering and building antennas. Thanks for stopping by for a look.

You are correct, I am definitely very very fortunate. Thanks for watching.
@@HOAHamRadioWelcome! 73
That looks pretty slick, Bob! I've got one of CaHRs first antenna kits, Apollo, maybe! I guess I need to build it! 🤣
I like assembling and soldering...relaxes me.
@@HOAHamRadio That's how I am with my scale model building. 😁
Thanks for the video!
Always glad when you stop by for a look.
Nice job with the build 👍
Great kit!
BOSS UPGRADES - where can we go next?
You guys are doing it right! Start with a great design and kit, and leave it to the individual for mods, if any, to their liking.
@@HOAHamRadio I use an Anderson power pole system for radials, so I just added a power pole to mine
Very well done!! Thank you!! de N9RAN, Randy
Appreciate the view and feedback Randy.
How did the antenna work out?
It is an incredible antenna! I show performance scattered throughout this video ua-cam.com/video/Z2B_rGsIqTo/v-deo.html
