#EFHW 40M - getting close to the finish #efhw


Jed Baer | KD0YMG
 

This project is far enough along, I figured I'd post a photo. It's an EFHW, 40M, which will have a capacitor compensation stuck at about 25 feet on the wire.

The frame is made from 1/8" acetal stock, because it's what was handy. I wound the transformer as a 56:1 autotransformer. Yeah, I didn't leave enough room from the wire connector to the first strain relief hole, and that's bugging me enough that I'll probably use just 2 of them. :-P And, I need to get a longer #6 screw for the ground, for connecting the counterpoise wire. Every radio project requires at least one trip to the hardware store. Antenna connection is a BNC.
