So easy to make.
I don't encase mine though, just slip a full length piece of heat shrink over the lot.
Means I can coil it for storage.
I've got plenty of trees round me so hauling one into the air isn't a problem.
I don't even bother SWRing them anymore.
Never had a 5/8 one with a SWR of greater than 2:1 EVER.

There you are NR:

This'll be a good low cost project, that you should have no problems building, and which will improve the performance of your radio considerably. ( BTW if the item I sent you still has not arrived, please PM me the address again and I'll dispatc a fresh one to you)

Paul, I haven't time to review the You Tube video to see if it was 1/4 wave or 5/8ths. Can you confirm the three critical lengths for a 5/8 version made out of RG58? Maybe start a separate thread for this so that it can be more easily found in future?
