[R-390] the Wireman

[Transmaster]

I have to say I can see why The Wireman ( thewireman.com) has been in
business since 1976 a great place to deal  with.  I have completed the
construction of a new Dipole and I am letting the silicone sealant
cure and waiting for a clam day to get the yard arm and pulley
installed on the tower so I can pull it up and we will see how it
works. What I built is a conventional dipole using covered 18 gauge 19
strand copperweld wire, a W2DU balun, and I am feeding it with milspec
JAN RG-9U coax which I had on hand.   The real treasure I received
from The Wireman is their book entitled "Wire Book IV". This book is a
great read with a bunch of very useful information about coax, antenna
wire, baluns, etc. The book is not so much about building antennas as
it is a discussion on the stuff you use to build a wire antenna with.
I highly recommend it.
