I just put up a 75m ssb antenna for ss this weekend. I'm going to add 4
or 5 feet of wire at each end of the antenna by attaching the wire to
the current end insulator.
Whats the best way to provide a jumper so I can quickly drop the antenna
attach the jumper so the antenna will reasonate on 80m cw?
I was thinking about heavy duty alligator clips or something, but what
about the tarnished copper, will the clip make a reliable connection?
Can it handle 1500 watts?
You get the picture, any ideas?

I've used a bananna plug and jack coated with silcone grease for
connections--at either end. k7gco
PS Add an 80m dipole at right angles. k7gco>>
