[K3PZN-List] Building an Antenna

I think you are trying to make the driven element out of coax? I think coax would not support its own weight and bend.

If you have any old extra 14 or 12 gauge house wiring around, it would be much better.

Also, metal coat hanger, they are usual steel, would work although would rust if not painted.

Hi all,

I'm built a 2m yagi but can get the coax to work... I need to exchange the elements for copper ones because I have found that you cant solder things to aluminum. 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?

Kyle
