#DIYDipole is in the air, and the antenna analyzer likes it. Just a touch too short for 20m, and a touch too long for 2m.
That said, it appears that by adjusting the extension, 17m-6m will be “tunable” by adjusting how extended the antennas are. Very excited to see this thing working!
Was calling on 6m, but did not get any call backs. Meeting now, but I will try again in about an hour, 20:00 ET/00:00 UTC.
#DIYDipole moves forward. AMZN got the bolts here too late to test tonight, but I did get the heat sets installed and it bolted on the mast.
The heat sets were interesting, I have soldering iron inserts for up to M5. These were M6. Heating the inserts with a butane torch worked, but it was easy to overheat. One hole was too melted out to work. The good thing is 2 bolts on axis were enough. 3 is definitely enough. #AmateurRadio #POTA #HamRadio #AntennaDIY #3dPrinting
