- Glad to be able to share this great deal for entry panel boxes I discovered on eBay!
The listing for the exact box I used are finally all sold out... to find a similar box, go to ebay and type in the search term "demarcation enclosure" to find similar boxes.
Here are the ground rods I used for my install amzn.to/42pKYbE
I only used 4' rods because my area has very high soil conductivity, check your area here: www.fcc.gov/me...
Here's the copper strap I used for the bus bar: amzn.to/3SIv74Q
Lightning arrestors similar to what I used: amzn.to/42o8o17
female to female pl259 connectors: amzn.to/3uhIq2N
copper braid in various widths: amzn.to/3Sr5eoH
I'm looking at doing this and having my manual switch inside, 2nd coax is only used 1-2 times a month for testing antennas or doing NVIS so I'm not going to spend the money on remote switching. I think my box I got is too small now so I'll look into these. Great video!
It always feels great to do something on your own. That way you know it works, rather than the Mighty Fine Junk that is out there hihi. Good work, bro.
"Not super janky. Regular janky." 🤣
Yeah, I'm gonna be using that one...
Fell free, all my material is open source haha
All that work to go to a 4 foot Amazon ground rod?
You saw one of them. Refer to ground conductivity map. I don't live on a stone.
I was wondering what I was going to need for my antenna install and seen your video tonight. I will order a few now 👍 de WE0H ..
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
