[RVRC] Additional hamfest Club Construction Project

[Martin Friedman]

Hi all, I was thinking 2 and /or 3 feet. If we make the SO239 ground plane
antennas it would be good to have a 15 or 20 foot "jumper" for that. Coax
type shouldn't matter much  for short lengths.  Combinations of BNC and UHF
would be a good idea. I don't think we should make too many the first year
and see how they sell. Material costs are still not known but K2VHWsays he
has lots of BNC crimp ons.

1. Which size coax?  How long end to end?

2. I have the dies and tools to do 58/142, 213/9913/8 crimp and crimp solder
connectors.  Including the shrink tube to finish off the ferrule.

As a matter of fact...the machine's been running with some of my jumpers
since last feb.

How many do we need...???
