Conduits for the antenna:
I used the orange conduit when the grey conduit is specified. It may hav an effect
on the velocity factor connection. The conduit acts as a raydome and orange has
a thicher wall than the grey. The reason I used the orange is that I had some
25mm and 32mm on hand.
Choke Former:
Choke Windings:
I used 40mm PVC pressure pipe that has an outside diameter of approximatly 48mm.
This gives a coil center of approminatly 52mm if you assume the RG58 is 4mm in
diameter. That is 2mm per side. I use the the Hamwaves coil calculator to determine
the number of turns required for the selected center frequency given the coil diameter.

Preparing the RG58 Coaxial Cable:
Top Section:
The top 100mm is stipped and twisted back to allow for lengthing the antenna in case the frequency is to high.
