Really enjoyed this Dave! Chopping boards are incredibly versatile for projects, though I used plastic coathangers for mine. Loved the bit where you said you won't argue about the spacing - some think it's terribly critical and are afraid of giving it a go if an exact figure isn't given.

Superb Dave ! VY FB, TKS...........

Just love this video. So practical. thanks,

Hi, what is the wire spacing ( I presume its spaced for 450 ohm?) cheers.

Fantastic!
I agree with OH2FFY hams today are spoiled and want everything now and won't work for it. I myself love to build my own things but the parts are hard to come by.

This video shows that hams still have the knack of homebrewing when something cannot be easily found.I like this video and shows how simple it is to construct ladder line . The dollar stores are a great place to find items that can be used in the hanshack and does nit cost a fortune.Good job Dave,hope that was not the xyl's cutting board or you'll be qrt.HI!!73,Don,VO1XH

I have been using a dipole fed with homebrew open line for about 6 months. I used plastic soda bottle caps for the spacers and zip ties to hold the wire in place. It works very well.

Coudn't buy it - thought it would take ages to make. Less than 3 hrs later I had 35 ft of ladder line. The wire was "marine" twin flex which I tore apart. Luckily I had the parts.
