I am building a simple center fed receive antenna using the materials in the picture below. I have it all connected at either hole in the wood block using ring terminals and nuts/bolts. I am not sure how long to make the wire hanging off each end.
I have a ton of #12 THHN laying around so I am using that as my ends. At the moment my plan is to drape the completed antenna over the peak of my garage roof (about 15' high) and run the end to the radio.
I have seen a lot of plans on the net for similar antennas such as the G5RV but that would be too long. Just looking for a little advice to get this up and running for receive of the HF bands etc..
Thanks
