DX-Commander antenna wire spacer. by theswink

Last crawled date: 3 years, 2 months ago

This is for the DX-Commander 10m long 6 band antenna.
Sometimes when the wind bends the antenna, the wires get caught after the jubilee clip, and really mess up the SWR.
This spacer prevents that from happening.
It goes on the 3rd pipe from the bottom up. (or push it until it goes no further :-D )
I made a normal one so this needs a lot of antenna disassembling
and a lazy boys one which needs no disassembling but a cable-tie.
I experimented with printing the wire lock in one go with the spacer, but I could'nt get the friction right. So the wire locks are push in. If you help the wire lock with your thumb nail, you can get it in relatively easy.
