Got lots of loose beads in a drawer from a blown-up W2DU. Me too! A friend of mine blew one up on a 2 element 40 meter beam. Running 1000 watts. 73 Jim W7RY *The problem is not the W2DU concept, but

I use cat-3 for my DX Engineering switch box. Works fine. I have a 500 ft run of it. The sun is a little rough on the jacket but most of mine is in conduit or now under the weeds and grass. 73 Jim W7
The problem with using copper pipe is: current. You need a good mechanical connection! Solder does not fall into this category! specification is 8" minimum bend. This may be an NEC code too. Lightnin
Exactly why "US" wireless folks dont use flat copper strap. To difficult to get a good mechanical connection! It is fine in a HIGH RF environment. (25+ kW lower on AM frequencies). If you can do some

I have looked at the archives and find only the info by W6QHS Dave Leeson on "new" dimensions for a 204BA 20 meter monobander. Does anyone have any further info ? Web pages ? Thanks and 73! Jim w7RY
