John,
I constructed the RS back of set antenna as seen in the files section.
I made a small wire-ring jumper for bypassing the coil and with
the bottom two sections out and the top section 2/3 rds out (I think).
It came up perfect on 50.125. Having said that I have not worked
any stations with it yet.
Alternatively, I am waiting for my mounting bracket from superantennas
and I intend to use a 3/8" whip tip adapter drilled out to accept the
banana plug of the above set. Then I should be good to go with on
6 and 2 side band. Btw, I have already made up a wire for counterpoise
use, but didn't need it today.
I can't wait to get in the mount bracket and start trying out all sorts
of other antennas.
72/73,
