Kinda unrelated but a noob question. Shouldn't the coax center attach to the longer piece and the coax shield to the shorter piece?

Here a little over a year later, do you still recommend / use the CAA-500 MKII analyzer? If not do you have any suggestions for the budget conscience?

Where can I find a SWR meter like you have to help tune my antennas?

[@ralph9987]

Does it matter which element I attach the braid or the centre conductor to? Ty

Is the long element the ground side how it work if you use the short side for the ground side long element for transmit

I may have seen a worse video on KZbin ... but I can't remember when. If you're going to make a video -- don't start out by referring to some other video that your viewers probably haven't seen. Don't use jargon.
