Another solution I've tried is to put a choke on the line that I can slide along its length (and later tape down). I then put a connecter at the far (antenna) end of this line. I then put a bare/insulated wire on a female connecter and mate the two. This preserves the line from stripping and peeling back. I cannot vouch how effective this is as a "Sleeve Dipole" in all the standard characteristics. The Choke Z would have to be very, very high to electrically snip the lower end to the right length to tune it. Another choke a quarter wave away would be necessary. All doable, certainly, but ad-hoc. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
