First Copper Pipe Dipole
In June of 2025, In order to increase antenna bandwidth considerably over the wire dipole, I switched to some copper piping that I bought from the hardware store, cut, soldered wires onto, and painted.
This one also featured a 1:1 current balun with an old cannabis jar enclosure.
Because of the low feed point impedance, I also tried a 1:4 current balun, which didn't work at all for this purpose.
After discussing with DD8SF, I tried a twin coax feed, which almost worked!
