Cut the active element wire (radiator) to the specified wire length (see Column: Wire length“. Attach the banana plug to one end of the wire. Make a fold back at the other end of the wire (length see column „Foldback Lenght“ and attach the 3d printed „Loop Maker“.
Cutting chart active elements (radiators):
Band | Element Length (cm) | Foldback Length (cm) | Wire length (cm) |
10 m | 238 | 11 | 249 |
12 m | 273 | 17 | 290 |
15 m | see 40m | see 40 m | see 40 m |
17 m | 374 | 14 | 388 |
20 m | 428 | 37 | 465 |
30 m | 676 | 26 | 702 |
40 m | 981 | 50 | 1031 |
Cutting chart radials:
Cut a total of 32 wires with a length of 250 cm. Connect 4 wires each with a banana plug. You will then have 8 radial bundles with 4 radial wires each.

SWR tuning:
Start SWR tuning with all radiators and radials installed from 40m down to 10m.

SWR diagram before fine-tuning.
