Nice clean build! I would probably test the build before I put on the shrink tubing. Like the banana clips ideas as well. 73

[@HOAHamRadio]

Thanks. As I was applying the heat I was thinking "you know, if you screwed this up...."

[@billfrankowski2041]

Nice build Bob, one thing that might help when twisting the wire pair together on the toroid is an inexpensive pair of 6” safety wire pliers ($10) from Harbor Freight. Makes for a nice wrap and clean look. de k8wf…

[@HOAHamRadio]

Thanks for the tip, I'll need to check that out.

[@norm_sueb122]

Thanks for the video!

[@HOAHamRadio]

Always glad when you stop by for a look.

[@johnsonstechworld]

You are lucky to have such ready to use kits to buy. Here we have to source each part separately and finally I end up with very little homebrewing! 73 de Jon, VU2JO

[@HOAHamRadio]

You are correct, I am definitely very very fortunate. Thanks for watching.

[@johnsonstechworld]

​@@HOAHamRadioWelcome! 73

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

Really nice build, we encourage people to make it their own. And we provide the holes to do builds like you did here!

[@HOAHamRadio]

Thanks Chuck, its a great kit! Love that winder!

[@JamesHannibalKH2SR]

Great video!

[@HOAHamRadio]

Thanks James; glad to see you stop buy. The shirt makes me look pretty good!

[@RESlusher]

That looks pretty slick, Bob! I've got one of CaHRs first antenna kits, Apollo, maybe! I guess I need to build it! 🤣

[@HOAHamRadio]

I like assembling and soldering...relaxes me.

[@RESlusher]

@@HOAHamRadio That's how I am with my scale model building. 😁

[@TheSmokinApe]

Nice job with the build 👍

[@HOAHamRadio]

Great kit!

[@randyhavener1851]

Very well done!! Thank you!! de N9RAN, Randy

[@HOAHamRadio]

Appreciate the view and feedback Randy.

BOSS UPGRADES - where can we go next?

[@HOAHamRadio]

You guys are doing it right! Start with a great design and kit, and leave it to the individual for mods, if any, to their liking.

@@HOAHamRadio I use an Anderson power pole system for radials, so I just added a power pole to mine
