Help Antenna for Kenwood R-1000
For the Kenwood R-1000, I want to find a wire just like the one used in
the ANT-60 wind-up antenna, because the wire is flexible, black, housed and small. Does anyone know where I could find about 100 feet of this wire? (Not the ANT-60 wind-up antenna). Once I have that, I want to make some kind of a dipole in a coil form on both sides. By using PVC tubing. It will look like a T. Then both feeds will connect to a PL 259. How many turns per inch? How thick should the PVC be? I do not want to make it too long. I want it for the 160-10 meters. Also I have a MFJ Deluxe Versa TunerII, could that be connected to this antenna? Thanks. |

Ok guys: I got two spools of 22 gauge stranged insulated wire from
RShack. And 2" PVC tubing. About 10 feet. Plus a PVC T. I am going to expiriment with this first. I might order from universal-radio, a dipole insulator and mfj-956 tuner. Because Rshack only had red wire. Could use black electric tape over the wires? I do not want to lose RF gain! And what does stranged wire mean?
