Thanks Jim, I love explaining how things work...and pretending I know what I'm talking about.

Great, now you've set the expectations and I have to make a video that lives up to these high standards! Thanks Bob!

[@HOAHamRadio]

Aw, shucks TO, you're makin me blush...

[@ATOMSHAMRADIO]

Nice antenna kit👍💯

[@W9HJBill]

Hopefully in the future videos you go over how to measure the wire to do the linking and where to measure from ... the total length of the one segment of the wire, the length where it is folded back to, or the length of where you have to metal clamp.

[@HOAHamRadio]

Yep, that's in the works. Definitely needed information.

[@ATOMSHAMRADIO]

Great information i love it been a ham for years good to learn new stuff👍⚛

[@HOAHamRadio]

I love learning new stuff!!

[@RESlusher]

Good stuff, Bob! I was getting ready to build a linked dipole from 6 - 40m! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

Nice short and to the point. I figure the measurements and build will come later. Great TEASer! 👍

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

Great way to show how all this works Bob!

Thanks Chuck. What a great kit! It fill a gap for me.

[@avoidanceworks8880]

[@HOAHamRadio]

Not sure, I picked this kit up at coffee-and-ham-radios.square.site/ They may have some details on their site.
