You unzip 2 spools of 75 foot clear speaker Wire
(it has 2 Wires zipped together)
and start wrapping from the Center of the 2 X2
Like this

One strand goes to one side of the Matching transformer
the Other Stand to the other to the 300 Ohm Side
Multiple Windings is too Complicated for you at this time
as you are New to all this.
But in Time you will learn one can wind Parallel Windings on a
Diploe that will still be 300 Ohms
if This was stretched out instead of Wound it would be
75 Ohms and no match would be needed.

(in message ):

Take a 2"X2" 8 foot long
Wrap a Dipole around it
and feed it with a TV type 300 Ohm to 75 ohm
Matching Transformer.

You could even wrap a Multiple Dipole.
I build one with 2 Spools of Rad shack
clear speaker Wire. 75 dual strand, that
you unzip apart.

cutting one at 50 and 25 feet, and the Other
75 foot as the Base Winding
I used guike qlue to hold it in place
and made a pedastal for it,
so I could take it Inside when I needed to
It worked great, and took it Camping as Well


I don't quite understand how you made this.
2 dipoles? One 50 and 25 feet (I don't understand how these two lengths are
one antenna...) The other antenna at 75 feet (that makes 3 lengths, not 2...)

Wind the 75 foot antenna first around the pole. What do you attach it to? The
transformer (300 ohm side)?

The 50 and 25 lengths are attached to what? How?

Thanks,
