Tom,

I used an old Black and Decker screw driver....you can buy new ones for
about $15. You
can use auto gas line hose with stainless steel clamps to connect to the
capacitor. I've
use this arrangement in my RV for over 5 years ...very solid and stable.

good luck,
dave

Gentlemen,
I currently use an 80M Half-Sloper and plan to use one on 160M as well.
Since I plan to remote tune it at 55' on the tower, I find that I need a

source for a small 12v gear head motor of about 4 rpm or so. This will
turn a 250pf variable cap. If anyone knows of such a source, please let
me know.
Many Thanks,
Tom W0HH
