Stopped in at Lowe's in Spokane on Sunday and picked up 4, 10 ft lengths of thin-wall electrical conduit for constructing new antennas. So cheap! I plan to make a 20m resonant dipole and a 2m beam or dipole. Need a few more tools to make it possible, like a vise to flatten the ends of the conduit so I can drill holes to connect the coax.
May need to add a small inductor to cancel capacitance created by connecting the feed-line to the conduit.
I may be able to mount these outdoors on the second floor porch. That would be a welcome change from the current indoor antennas. More later.
