Description

I wanted to build a link dipole for Parks On The Air operations that would be lightweight and easy to put up.  I designed these pieces around 22 gauge stranded wire and a bulkhead mount SO-239 connector.

Use whatever connector you want on the ends; I opted for blade connectors I found online but anything would work.  I've seen Anderson Power Poles and RCA jacks used on these before.

The end pieces have an extra hole so that you can put in a support rope if you are stringing this in an inverted vee configuration like I do.

The antenna I made is for 20 and 40 meters.  It's merely two 5 meter pieces of wire for 20 meters, and two 5.1 meter pieces of wire to extend it to 40 meters.  If you build this, test it on 20 meters first to get your SWR down. 

No supports needed when printing.

EDIT: Added a v2 of the center piece with holes on the back that the narrow end of a collapsible flag pole can fit through.
