Swiss Dipole With Radiowavz Dipole Head

I bought the Swiss Dipole on eBay, it came with no coax connector so I ordered a Dipole Head from Radiowavz for 10 bucks. Yes, I know I could build these things cheaper than buying them however I don’t have that kind of time. So for now I’m buying this stuff, call me an appliance operator, I can handle it. Smile

Like a moron I didn’t pay attention to the connector as I was using my heat gun on the shrink tubing which warped the plastic protecting the head. Thus, this is now my indoor antenna. I am going to purchase a new head and another Swiss Dipole to travel with me in the RV.

I haven’t tested it out yet, I’ll post again when it’s up in the air.

I know some people like VE7KFM can't help themselves but if you feel the need to post as "Anonymous" add your name. For some reason he has no issue blasting his call on the air but online he is too frightened to do so, maybe he is afraid of what can happen, who knows, but for the rest of you, please leave a name or call, thanks.
