Antenna Overhaul

I decided today was the day I ordered new coax, connectors and other essentials for my antenna, which includes 100 meters of RG58 cable, 2 x phono plugs and 2 x phono sockets ( yup, my radio has phono socket as arial socket ) and 14SWG Tinned Copper wire ( to extend my antenna ).

I think at this point, the radio noise and interference is going to be a problem with an extended antenna, so my next project is to build an ATU specifically for the HF bands. More to come on the design and construction of that later.
