There are lots of ways to build links for Linked Dipoles, End Fed Halfwave antennas, etc. This is one of my favorites. Simple, robust, and easy to build.
In this video I update you on some changes to the channel such as the upcoming videos on the IC-705 and several other live streams like the Women in Ham Radio and discuss reviewing the WSPR Desktop transmitter from Zacktek.

The Icom IC705 is the latest offering from ICOM and continues their range of SDR based transceivers which include the IC-7300 and IC-9700.
The Icom IC-705 is a light portable rig that covers from DC to 70cm and is either internal or external battery powered. It has the same touch screen interface as the Icom 7300 & 9700.
The units have only just landed in Australia and are already proving to be very popular with Strictly Ham shipping many units this week.

Justin VK7TW will be demonstrating his unit including the Icom LC-192 backpack & bluetooth headset. Come and see if the IC-705 really is a massive leap ahead on the FT817/818!

Take a trip with me (W5KV) down the Colorado River. We’ll stop mid-way to operate Parks on The Air from one of the coolest locations I’ve been to yet. Thanks for tuning in! Please subscribe & share. 73.
Drop by for a chat with Charlie Brown, NJ7V. We talk about how he hams and what interests him about the hobby. Stick around and see if you can pick up any nuggets you can use.
In this video we take a look at the Silver Bullet 1000 TIA, Silver Bullet Mini, and Center Loaded antennas, as well as their various configurations. Also looking at the MFJ-1979 17′ telescopic whip.

Let’s take a look at the SGLEDs 18W security light sent me to review.

This is the one you’ve been waiting for – the traps to go with the micro End Fed Halfwave (EFHW) antenna build. Here’s how to make them.
These traps will work with my Ultimate Ultralight EFHW (https://youtu.be/s-_LyhdGapM) or just about any QRP end-fed halfwave antenna, and you could even build pairs to use with a dipole.
You’ll certainly need some MATERIALS:
– T37-2 Toroids (my usual): https://amzn.to/3hFsYlj
– T50-2 Toroids (a little more efficient and maybe easier to build): https://amzn.to/2QCkGio
– 28 ga Magnet Wire: https://amzn.to/3b9Isf4
– 39pF 100v Ceramic Capacitor (0603 case recommended): https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/kemet/C0603C390J1GACAUTO/399-15862-1-ND/7516362
– 62pF 100v Ceramic Capacitor (0603 case recommended): https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/kemet/C0603C620J1GAC7867/399-14992-1-ND/7382541
NOTE: Consider a few other capacitors in the 22pF – 100pF range, depending on the traps you’d like to build.
– Perforated Prototype Board: https://amzn.to/2YLsFOJ
– 5/8″ Heat Shrink Tubing: https://amzn.to/3lwwGjt
– 1/4″ Heat Shrink Tubing: https://amzn.to/2G9bGzk
And you’ll need some TOOLS:
– Dremel (or similar)high-speed rotary tool: https://amzn.to/3gFEkEL
NOTE: I have had my Dremel tool for about 25 years now and it hasn’t missed a beat. Based on my personal experience, I would recommend going with the name brand tool.
– Diamond Cutting Wheels: https://amzn.to/2QBRHve
NOTE: I really like these because you can’t cut yourself with them, but they cut the perf board and BNC connector brass just fine.
– Soldering Iron (any will do) with a fine tip: https://amzn.to/2GaENlN
NOTE: I’ve been using this one for about a year with no issues. The heat gun is AWESOME for hot air/solder paste construction. The iron works well for traditional soldering.
– Electronics Tweezer Set: https://amzn.to/2ENy00w
Please share your builds with me when you’re done, and tell us about how it works out for you in the comments below.
