1 Budwig . Molded Products HYE-QUE Antenna Connector and Insulators The Budwig HQ-1 Antenna connector is for use by ham radio operators and others in fabricating an inexpensive and efficient dipole antenna. Designed for durability and light weight, this connector provides a coax SO-239. socket for accepting a PL-259 feed line plug. The one piece molded body offers weather tight construction and provides a drip shield to protect the coax fittings. Full legal power capacity. Actual Sizes The Budwig HQ-2 Antenna Insulator is designed for use with Budwig HQ-1 Connector when constructing a dipole antenna assembly. Deep ribbed construction provides increased surface path to reduce power leakage. Light weight and durable.

Cut two wires, Service Life Indefinite each to the length indicated. Make a right angle bend Internal Capacity NIL exactly three inches from both ends of both wires. If you propose to operate the entire band, cut both wires to the length indicated for the approximate center of the band. Wire Length Table for 1/2 Wave Dipole Antenna 2. Insert one three inch end of one of the antenna wire into one end hole of the connector as shown in Figure 1, 80 Meter ( MHz) 15 Meter (21 MHz). twist this three inch end around wires A and B as shown 3550 kHz 66' 3 21050 kHz 11' 6 in Figures 1 and 2.

Two or more additional antenna wires, cut for additional 14050 kHz 17' bands may also be attached to the connector as previ- 14100 kHz 16' 11 ously outlined. These additional antenna wires may be 14150 kHz 16' 11 at an angle to the other wires, or droop slightly under 14200 kHz 16' 10 them, but they must not touch. 14250 kHz 16' 9 . 14300 kHz 16' 8 9. In all cases, the coax feeder line must be at least as 14350 kHz 16' 8 long as one of the longest antenna wires used.
