Default Cobwebb antenna question?

Hi Steve
Do you have the correct measurement for the 17m element?

A lot of people say 4400 is incorrect as its too long.

Many thanks

The cable used for the Cobwebb is:-

A very heavy duty twin cable with a 'figure 8' profile ideal for high
power speaker connection suitable for power amplifiers up to 500W
output.
42/0.15mm plain copper conductor
Rating 60V rms 6A
Overall size 5.7 x 2.9mm
Sheathed in white PVC with black polarity identification stripe

You can find it on the RAPID ELECTRONICS website at www.rapidonline.com
Part No. 01-0157.

Regards

Steve

I'm in the process of building a homebrew Cobwebb Ariel.

I have found two different sizes for the twin cable elements, figure 8 42
strand 0.2mm, but on the Cobwebb web site it says figure 8 84 strand.

Also in the Cobwebb revealed PDF doc that I downloaded on page 5 it says
each core is 42 strands of 0.2mm diameter and on page 7 of the same doc
it
says figure 8 84 strand. So I'm a little confused.

Does anyone know what is the correct cable to use, 42 strand 0.2mm or 84
strand 0.2mm?

Many thanks
