Tyler [AF7BO]'s Fan Dipole Antenna

I took pictures of my fan dipole while I had it down for maintenance this weekend. Thought I'd share.

Eventually, I plan to add 40 meters. At this time, have 80 & 20. 

When I get around to adding 40, I will upgrade the feed point. 

Probably to use nuts and bolts to help with strain relief, and to add a bit better mechanical connection.

When I put this one together, I kinda made it up as I went.

The last image is a picture I found when looking at what others had done at the feed point for strain relief.

I may also terminate the coax inside a capped section of PVC to shed water away 

from the joint where the coax meets the antenna elements. 

I've seen a few examples of this, but generally with separate eye bolts for each wire in the fan dipole to help spread them out. 

My antenna has a common feed point for both/all bands.

David [N5JRN]'s New ANTENNA

Some 9 o’clock net regulars wanted a picture posted on the PSRG repeater blog. Here it is:

It’s made from a 1/4” square nut brazed to the interior of a smaller (but still pretty large, about 1.5” outside diameter, inside diameter circumscribes the nut) washer, in turn that’s brazed to a really large washer (large enough that its outer diameter just about matches the diameter of the magnet on the mag mount).

The 1/4” thread mates with a standard tripod head. Tripod is an old beat-up one I found for $1 at the Rotary Auction and Rummage Sale last month.
