FWIW The tape does stick down pretty good but I don't see it lasting any longer than 6 months without it being sewn. Of couse I will recommend you buy one but there is no reason to not try and build a temporary one.
I would like to suggest an SMA socket like the Amphenol 132432. This is far less bulky than BNC. I'm sure they are also available cheaply from China. I would then use an RG316 as the feed cable.
@@VE6SFX_HamRadioRookie Congrats on everything, dude. Well deserved and super fun to watch your shenanigans. Put an email in a while ago when I first saw the jpole on K8MRDs channel (or was it Josh Nass). Anyway good stuff! Thanks!
@@VE6SFX_HamRadioRookie plans?? I built my own copper j-pole pushup antenna...even built my own "fantenna" [from an old busted reciprocating fan] and with 5 watts could easily hit the repeaters over 30 miles away (even though they were at like 2K feet) KF6CIF
people never sop talking about flux. I have very good liquid flux. it almost never makes a difference to me other than making a huge mess to clean later.
I was taught this by my chain smoking, caffeine addicted, kids in college manager at Radio Shack circa 1986.
Amazing place to work as a teen
Well then this is a slightly less second hand smoke smell version of his tutorial then :)
I want one. I'm on the list. I really love it. Would love to build one but alas I don't have a sewing machine.

Congratulations! That's really awesome that you turned it into a business. Well done. 👍
It’s nerve wracking and awesome all at the same time. :)
Love the Adhesion Promotor tip! Need to try this on other spray jobs!
It is unbelievable the difference in finish
So happy t see your love of experimentation has led you to doing something you love.
Me too!
Well done. Much more to making the connector than I would have thought.
Yes and no. If you have done it before it is not too bad

An adapter in every home. That should be the goal
Every "HAM" home :)
Love seeing your work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome to see bud I got the email blast. I’m gonna see if I can weasel a little money out of my not fun pocket and get one.
Love to hear this :)
Great video and a great antenna! Any idea on the power limitation of the FaraJ antenna? 73
50w continuous no problem and we have run 100w through one without any issue either
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks!
Thank you!
This is cool! What about a Fara Jim? More directional..
Are slim jims directional?
Let’s fkn go! Take my money!
LOL Ok they will be out soon :)

Do you have the 3D model file for your solder dispenser?
Man, I am not sure... It has been a long time since I made it, but I will make one up to share. It actually nests well with my next video!
Way cool!
Thank you
:)
$75 ! Damn.
They are not easy to make. If that scares you then you can get plans and make your own.

Interesting. For me it is a game changer and the cleanup is minimal. But if you have a good workflow then absolutely do not listen to me :)
