WARNING - SUBTITLES CREATED BY A TEAM OF SMALL PUPPIES. ERROR ALERT.
Ladies and Gentlemen hello my name's Callum from DX Ccommander tonight I'm
going to teach you something at particular not but we'll do that in a
minute so this is part 2 of the DX Commander "lite" build if you remember
and I haven't shown you all the bits yet and so that's why I've got a lot of
props here let me take out all my elements and granules the idea behind
this build by the way is that we should get a 12-minute hf portable antenna it
should be rather fun don't need anymore do I
I've run into some problems but I fixed them all so in the last film you saw me
I made up the elements and I showed you this bit which is the ground plate for
dears candlelight if it's on the bottom of a 7 meter pole which we'll get out in
a minute it's this one here and it screws onto the bottom and we've got 5
radial points and each radial points got 6 radials on it and I've calculated that
will give us around at about 75 meters of radials put down in a few moments
okay so I want to dispel the myths the verticals are a hassle and lets you make
all sorts of weird and wonderful compromises now the this is what we call
the radio radio radiation the radio that I gave this bit but it'll come to me as
I'm chatting ok I can't just sort of sit quietly because I'm recording I can't go
um although as you know quite often I do the radiating players the bit that the
middle of the so2 nine connects to so what I'm gonna do so let's hit this poll
upside down we can fit on the ground great and while I'm thinking it might
come to me the official name I give the special spaceship triangle thing
so we put that boson there and Steve Nelson on the channel commented ëthe cuz
he prototype destroyer I never move this over cost deal to look at this and he
pro to time he said he got anything and working and it was tremendous in about
well he said about twelve minutes sorry mister uh mister microphone so can
you see that okay let me just check this big camera here that's recording that
yeah it's okay you can see that so that's that's fine so that our elements
will go on on here driven plate that's what I call it two driven plate and to
stop this wibbly-wobbly about what I've got is I use and I'll put in the kit is
one of the reasons I'm building it now because I need to build its go we need
that so this goes over the top and it holds the driven element in place a
little bit of so that's a what I call that within the UK we call these Jubilee
clips in America they're called hose clamps okay but there we are and it's
got a cross head so and I happen to know that under here I normally keep a cross
head so I'm just tighten that up for the fun of it
I'll turn it around so I can get to easily and enough for studio work
because tomorrow's Friday Saturday I want to actually build this but the
elements on Level II there's a few tricks I did last Sunday that you don't
know about so I need to kind of get on with that now I'm pologize because the
pole apparently I think keeps hitting this microphone so yeah okay right and
the next stage is I will put the guy point here
so there's you can see on this camera here's a guide point and it's cute
because I actually drew it and I saw the spaceship not it's triangular but it's
all curves it cost no more for the curves you see there's water much jet
machine so that acts as both die points okay cuz I supply some paracord and also
we put the elements up now because when it finally gets to the top at the five
major point there's this little mini spaceship which we call the upper
spreader that's right up here in the sky and then what we do is we come along
with our elements so this is a 15 meter element and by the way if you're
wondering this is probably a three or four and no tuned antenna so and I'll
explain that in a minute so these little Clips here and I will fit one in a
minute to some paracord these these clip on to our mini spaceship and then with a
peg so normally do the other way around at the top if it's connected to the
element at the moment but anyway normally what I do is so that's
connected to the space mini spaceship so I call it the upper spreader and it's
got a donkey little bungee cord with a special knot which is what I'm about to
teach you the man in and then a bit of paracord and this has to be just the
right length so by the time we attach the element to it everything's just
under tension and not too much I couldn't just fit or give you one of
these because it wouldn't be bit the hole I would need to create or the guide
point and the element would be huge and it just wouldn't be right so it's kind
of more elegant to be able to disconnect your elements from the paracord so
there's an element top of the elements here and then it's 50 meters so it goes
for about a meter and a half then we get this little cool now
and then some donkey all right and up through the little mini spaceship Jack
all the upper spread there right so far so good
and how many pounds doesn't say this was right the idea is originally originally
when I thought the idea it was gonna be 30 and 10 however you have to pick
whether you want the 30 cock on or 10 cock on because it won't do both
exactly they're both slightly a little bit out face on 10 meters he's acting as
a 3/4 wave but it's not quite harmonically whirl 8230
so you'll see on Saturday a couple days time I'll be another film I'll be able
to explain that if you were low power station though and you've got an 80 you
button you'll get a either anyway okay and then ideally is 3 elements so if we
get 10 and 30 there we can pick any 2 else we want so if you have 20 and 17 or
20 and 15 or 17 and 15 or 17 or 12 17 12 and 30 is a walk band vertical hey you
heard it here first chirps so but the key to a lot of this is this little knot
here and I've been around the market looking for little clips are ideal for
this job and I promise you I've bought every I've bought every one and none of
them fit the bill this the the ones that come apart under tension well that's no
good it is under tension so let me show you how this knot works this is a 7
meter pole pole a this thing and the idea behind the whole thing was to get
it about half the price all better than the DX commander all barren vertical so
my problem was and still is ladies gentlemen to get a piece of paracord
that donkey dogies okay sorry piece of shock called
with my special bag of tricks here my development tricks I have a end and the
Clipper whipper so these things they'll just focus that obviously clip together
right but once but one sec lick together they
seem to be clip together so you need to bit have you know like jeweler's
screwdrivers and stuff to get back apart again so just be aware of that so what
you do is you don't okay I'll start again so we need to put to get out this
is for mill shock cord put this shock cord through the through one of the the
thingies okay and tie a knot in the end which I'm doing now and hopefully this
little camera up here on my left this one here hello and we tease them all the
way out to save as much power core air shock cord as we can doing that no
wastage alright yeah we are then this bit here clips in and we can put our
clippity-clop addi in alright voila so that now that works just fine okay
and then obviously we do the same on the other end of the pier record then what I
just what Stewart and I found we get our elements alright we lay the aerial down
on the ground we get air element and we pull it up and we get our shot cord and
we attach our paracord which were about to do them in it and we go right where
do we want the Arthur clippity-clop on the paracord so that
there's just enough tension like if full full tension is that and no tension is
that we weren't about halfway do you know me right so let's now make a
knot right to connect this and this together
so the easy way is to just cross the two over all right
and we just tie a regular knot a granny knot if you like see that it's just as
granny knot in the top and and then we do the same we just turn it around and
do the same simple little granny knot in a paracord you see that that's that's
all is and then we pull the two together now we're going to tease this out
because we want the one waist waist at all but talking and doing isn't my forte
right done it so now what we can do is we can really pull it together as hard
as we can and we end up with a really nice knot because then what you can do
is once you're comfortable with that knot you can raise a blade or a box
cutter we don't use the expression box cutter in this country we use the
expression Stanley knife no there we are so now we're left with a clippity-clop
Atene that goes on to the top spaceship right now it's been a pair of shock cord
and by the way the shock cord I give you cut it into about four or five pieces
because you don't need it quite that long you just need enough tyramine then
we got a piece of paracord and all we do is you'll see we're not going to
actually build it we come down from the top spaceship to your element that
you've made up and you think where do I want the bottom razor blade where do I
want the bottom and clippity-clop you work for the ease to be so if it's there
oops sorry about that mr. microphone will cry a paracord we'll go and get
the little four male fits I supply and let's apply two bags I've decided in
this kit the Bears one this one has the other somewhere in here this should be
all the bits for this you either thought with a clear bag that would be
relatively easy but it's not so but on the other bag here which I'll open up
I've just heard the ring doorbell go which is Wendy home so she might put it
through it's just a case of putting that through into the when you call that
clippity-clop er do you think putting our not in so we're their that end is a
case of if air element is coming to you know our element stops there then we'll
go oh where did we want them not to be so that the Winky dinky dinky so if it
was there go right so we want the thing this bit to stop there so I'll need to
move this up a bit so he'd cut it tie your knot if it's too long because you
could test it before you really pulled it hard it was too long and you can cut
it off put your clippity-clop T on and apply the little shock cord thing and
there was a complete assembly I just wanted to show you there's these
assemblies that we muck around with which took Stuart and I about half an
hour last Sunday morning but were you having coffee and chilling and talking
getting knickers in a twist as they say the last thing we want to do is start
filming it because I'm not really that much of a blogger or vlogger
what are these for aquariums what else no what we noticed at the very top of
the tube on a 30 meter all the 10 meter elements
we want the element to come up go through this little little eye here and
come back down but I didn't want to use tape so I discovered a few years ago if
you use a bit of aquarium tube and that these six mil and I'll supply it we can
put our element through then we fit our little tube over the top and it just
pulls down nicely and then stops the the wire flopping
about and it just gives us a perfect perfect magic Ferb so we don't need an
insulation tape but then one installation take for you like winding
this stuff back up and putting it back in the bag but didn't one is part of the
build to keep the cost down on the light I am NOT supplying hose clamps for all
the element joints we only gonna supply one I think because what I found the 7
meter pole is half the weight with the 10 meter Pole it literally is and
everything's a bit smaller and it really was tight and I thought hey I could keep
the cost down and not supply you with a ton of hose clamps that probably
nobody's gonna use and if you won't give me a shout or I do a kit for the dear
its commander the big one just buy one of them that's all for tonight I don't
need anything else I'm quite excited Wendy's birthday tomorrow so I'm taking
it to Blenheim Palace and because it's a lovely little day out we've done it
before it's been a while since we've been and I thought I'd be nice and while
you're here I still have not got an opportune place to put this microphone
it's like I want a magic microphone that moves with me everywhere I've got a very
expensive clip-on microphone which some of the earlier videos had I didn't like
the EQ and I'll only use it if I absolutely have to I don't know what to
do about it so but I don't want spend another 500
pounds on a little clip-on microphone it sounds as good as broadcast quality is a
old mister electro-voice re 20 here but yeah it's a great sounding
microphone my name's Calum you're live on the Dia's come on the show with the
time just coming up to 20 past 6:00 if I did that bit a serious recording voice
over the other night with this and he came over antastic but I had to solve
the 50 Hertz hum which very often is when it is next to the Apple monitor and
that's because Apple as a product is generally a fancy toy not an enterprise
piece of kit yeah so there we are that's what I think by the way you may think
differently in your opinion counts have a nice day
see you at the weekend all the best oh I forgot to say if you are not a
subscriber to the channel we might never hear from each other again so if you hit

click the bell you were getting a little alerts when you come back to YouTube
Oh Callum's uploading a new film and you'll go ah so he has otherwise well
maybe you prefer the other way around that you never see me again but you know
I'm wacky enough that you might enjoy so my name is Callum from DX Commander
my hobby products by the way because I have a real job as well all of us and
