Ah, heck - don't make it so easy. A REAL HAM would mine and smelt his
own ore (using a garden trowel and blowtorch). He would create his own
insulating material from raw materials (bakelite would probably be
easiest), and finally shape and assemble the final product.

A real ham wouldn't make coaxial connectors.

A real ham would be using a link-coupled output from his PA, to a balanced
transmission line.

And you can certainly make ladder line yourself, once you figure out
something for the spacers. I doubt anyone's ever made coax at home.

I've made short lengths of rigid, air dielectric coax for UHF projects
from hobby store brass tubing on several occasions.

That's true. For inside a chassis. And I suppose making rigid is much
easier than making flexible coax, since you can get that brass tubing.
