| Christmas holiday project |
| |
| This antenna was knocked up quickly from 25mm square aluminium tubing (boom) and 10mm diameter tubing (elements.
The gamma match was made from a length of brazing rod inserted into a length of RG58CU outer sheath and slipped into a length of 8mm aluminium tubing.
The brazing rod was soldered to an N connector mounted through the boom. An off-cut was used as a shorting bar.

to the solder connection of the N connector and the brazing rod.

| This picture shows the front view of the gamma match assembly with N connector. You can see the black outer sheath of RG58 cable
covers the full length of brazing rod through the boom to the connector and through the capacitor (Al tube).
