Anything special needed to make this thing besides the wire and SO-239? I might want to transmit through this some day using a random wire tuner but for now it will be used for SWL. -- Pierre Salinger Memorial Hook, Line & Sinker, June 2004 COOSN-266-06-25794 If you want it to work at its best, you'll get/make a matching transformer, 10:1 ratio, and insert it between them, and most of the time providing a good ground to the appropriate lug of the transformer. Run an appropriate length of coax cable between the transformer and your radio. A Google search will bring up about a million posts on this topic, and several websites that show you how. They are sold on EBay and elsewhere. Don't fear - it is quite simple and quite inexpensive. For transmit, you may want to use low power - I would not run 1,000 watts through this set up.
