Just venting and whining. Tried to string up a simple dipole this morning and after 2 hours of futzing realized my solder joint was broken on one leg and can’t seem to get it to stick again. Just feeling frustrated right now.
@KI5FGS I use mechanical connections with banana plug-BNC adapters, so easy to use and fix!
@M0KHR yeah, they definitely are easier to use, I was just trying to throw something up with bits and bobs I already had. I may just break down and order some more.
