A BNC to banana plug adapter made a great connector for a dipole. LMR 100A makes a great light weight feedline with a little creative soldering. The cord winders were crafted from leftover parts box dividers. I plan on adding clips to the BNC adapter to change out the dipole leads. Currently the leads are cut for 14.285 MHz (20 meter qrp calling frequency) If deployed in a tree the antenna weighs next to nothing. Today I had it at about 28′ with a jackite fiberglass pole mounted on a speaker stand.
I made QSOs with Nebraska and Texas with rough band conditions. I’m looking forward to more portable work with homebrew antennas.
