Behold the jazzy setup of my Centre-Fed Dipole Antenna as the bullet pins are connected. A patch cable offers a sneak peek into the SO239 connector, primed for action. The vivid blue and red wires, each measuring around 11 meters and 6 inches, are poised for the 20-Meter HF band. Get ready for a symphony of signals and connections that traverse the globe.

As I embark on antenna projects, I'm putting together the structure that will house the Centre-Fed Dipole. This common pole will not only support my HF dreams but will also be a welcoming host to a VHF companion. It's a platform for endless radio adventures and discoveries, a testament to my unwavering passion.

Meet the 20-inch-long, half-inch PVC pipe – an essential element of my antenna setup. It's the foundation upon which my dreams of exploring the HF bands are built. Perched on an 11-foot metal mast, this robust combination is set to reach new heights and unravel the mysteries of the radio spectrum.

Ready for Any Weather

Nothing will deter my Centre-Fed Dipole Antenna from its mission. This hook, with its protective heat shrink tubing, stands resilient against the harshest weather conditions. It's where my antenna will find its temporary home, broadcasting my voice, signals, and enthusiasm to the world. The adventure awaits, and I'm ready to take the plunge into the realm of HF radio.
