Building a 6 meter dipole antenna and testing the 3-D printer
3-D printers are becoming popular with radio amateurs because of the antenna accessories that can be made at modest cost. In this video from Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW), we see how a 3-D printer can simplify the design and construction of a basic 6 meter dipole antenna. Six meters is becoming active again thanks to the evolving Cycle 25 Solar phenomenon.

Let's make a dipole. Thingiverse link to the dipole center insulator: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:280... If you like my videos, please subscribe here: http://www.youtube.com/user/loughkb?s...
