Don't try to solder the radials on to the connector. Get 4 spade lug or ring
terminals, and solder one to each wire. Fasten to SO239 with the mounting screws. Bingo, I was going to say the same thing. It doesn't matter if your radials are droopy or not. That's an excellent antenna for the attic. jw K9RZZ |

Bingo, I was going to say the same thing. It doesn't matter if your radials are droopy or not. In fact, you want them to droop! About 45 degrees droop will give 50 Ohms impedance, which you can't get with a dipole. Tam That's an excellent antenna for the attic. jw K9RZZ |
