Mechanical
fixing of the two halves of the dipole (radiator) is one
of the biggest challenges.
I die-cast both ends by Dentacryl (methyl methacrylate
casting resin for technical application), just leaving
two solder pins above the surface. |
The matching
coils (50 Ohm -> 28 Ohm) of all the four antennas. |
The matching
coil detail. It also provides the symetrization. It is
wound by two 37 cm long 75 Ohm PTFE coax cables in
parallel. |
The splitting
cable. For the cable joints the small water-resistant
plastic boxs are used. |
The detail of
one cable joint of the splitting cable. |
A special
plastics part is used as an element holder. |
The bottom
view of the same. A special sunken nut is used on the
other side. |
Large plastics nuts for easy beam tightening. You don't
need a wrench, you don't lose the nuts in a grass. |
All four
antennas ready to go to the mast |
Finally, the
dream came true. |
