Nice! Banana plug radials, the absolute best way to go. Thanks for sharing with the ham community.

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

I hate it when the screw falls out. I like those connectors Jim, thanks!

[@robertmeyer4744]

If the screws keep falling out ,you will go bananas !

[@DonzLockz]

Banana terminals FTW!💪😁

[@K3JRZOnTheAir]

I like using banana plugs for radials. I’ve set up some general radials that way and doing the same for my Poseidon build, which I need to get back to. 73!

Good to be able to interpret a 12 lead ECG.

[@FEPLabsRadio]

A skill I'm a little rusty on now, but I can still identify if you need to ride the lightning!

[@LeeMcc_KI5YPR]

I bought a BNTECHGO pack of multicolor wires cut 10ft long, precut because I balance lazy with cheap. I made many great 3m radials. Yes, banana plugs.

[@FEPLabsRadio]

That's right Lee - work smarter, not harder. Lazy is the way.

[@KS0JD]

I do the same on my pota vertical to add radials. Make the setup faster! 73

Nice, Jim. I like it. I fired my lawnmower guy after I.. I mean he, clipped my 80m inverted L with the weed eater.

[@robertmeyer4744]

They work great for POTA. People always walking into antenna . No matter what color or flag on it. The fix for the lawnmower guy is do your own yard work. If you break your own antenna ,Then it is your own fault ! if only a single ground or counterpoise the power pole connector will work as well . 73

[@45auto]

The lawn mower guy has taken out my counterpoise 3 times no matter the color.

[@45auto]

You forgot the links to parts, Jeem.

[@FEPLabsRadio]

Updated now - ended up on Hayden's show, then I hadda eat dinner! Yes, my lawn guy is dangerous to all antenna parts.

Galvanized conduit will show that weedwacker who's boss.
