[K3PZN-List] Building an Antenna

[Kyle Thornton]

Ok I will probably do plan b because I think I have tried everything under the sun. I think out of a 25ft cable I believe I have no more then 10ft left which is kinda ok I guess because it will more then likely be used as a portable antenna then a base.

I bought RG-58u coax from radio shack and wasted $16 because when I try and strip it it takes all the braiding with it and theres not enough left except for the center conductor. Any thoughts?
