FW: [Antennas] "Western Union" Splice

[Gene Mason]

   FYI     The  western  Union  splice  is  the  recommended  splice  for
   mechanical  and  electrical  integrity,   additional  strength  can be
   provided if you solder the connection using good techniques.

     A good place to see how to make this splice for your
     long wire is to go to:
     Google.com
     and in the search box enter: western union splice.
     The first subject that comes up is from tpub.com with
     the number 14176 in the address.
     A good set of step-by-step diagrams is on that page.
     I would not concern myself with the any "impedance
     bump."
