    I've watched dozens of dipole videos and this is the best one in my opinion. Very clear and concise. Well-done !!!

    I am a newbie fixing to get my tech and would rather build my own antennas rather than just buy everything. I do have a tech background in aviation so building things is rather easy for me plus I actually learn things. great little video. one question I have is how would a toroid figure into a dipole antenna build?

    I know people love to have an SO-239 on these antennas, but have you considered just epoxying your coax into the antenna and saving the 3dB connector loss? Forgive me my blasphemy...Anyway, its a great antenna, simple and effective!

    • @OtisDyson
      @OtisDyson  4 месяца назад

      I agree, but then you have to use a 25 foot or 50 foot coax that you can never use on anything else. I think the convenience and storage may outweigh the loss. I guess we can increase the power to compensate.😊 It would however make a great video!!

    • @feeatlastfeeatlast5283
      @feeatlastfeeatlast5283 4 месяца назад +3

      Connector loss of 3 db? 50 connectors in series would not have 3 db of loss. 3 db of loss is half your power. With 50 watts of transmitter power you would not be able to touch the connector without fire resistant gloves.

  • @michaelnoardo3315

    the measure is for each cable for the total ?

  • @chrishale4010
    @chrishale4010 3 месяца назад

    What was the final measurement of the wire that was cut? And are you measuring from the cap to the end of the wire? Are you including the wire that is on the inside of the tee?
    Thanks for the video I’ll be making one for sure. K4PWI

    Hello, by trimming it which one did you cut? The antenna? Or the ground? Or both wires?

    • @OtisDyson

    You spent all that time with expensive bit trying to install a connector you don't need but you don't have a choke balun?

    • @OtisDyson
      @OtisDyson  2 месяца назад

      You can use any bit. I guess I always hear my daddy in my ear about if you're gonna do it...do it right. 🙂As far as the choke, I use a third party choke and wasn't showing it. The making of the antenna was the goal. Blessings my friend. It's all good.
