| Splices and Terminations |
Price US |
864  | Wire Termination Kit. A simpler way to do the job at all of the wire terminations in dipole construction and adjustment. Used in conjunction with the stainless steel thimbles (p/n 800), all of the stress and abrasion points are protected, no matter what wire is used. See 864A illustration for basic application technique. | $2.75/pr |
864A  | A twist on version of the same principle as in the p/n 864, with cut-a-way drawing showing assembly technique. | $2.00/pr |
|
864B | Gel-filled twist on "wire nuts" for weatherproof, solder-free connections of wire antenna pigtails to center insulator pigtails, etc. Can be drilled like 864, 864A | $3.00/pr |
|
864C | Direct burial splice kits. Professional type, gel-filled, permanent repairs of communication and/or power installations. | $3.75 ea or $7.25/pr |
865  | Simple terminal block splice for coax to window-type ladder line. Used where balanced to unbalanced coupling is optional or not a critical issue. Easily weather-proofed with a gel or silicone caulk-filled shrink tubing (not included - ask for details) See also p/n 840 under baluns | Only $0.95 ea |
867  | Stainless fender-washer kit for full surface "hand-shake' connection of tinned copper braid to braid or copper ribbon junctions for maximum surface RF and/or safety ground connections. | $1.75 ea |

 | CQ WIREMAN'S FLAT TOP kit - 130 feet stranded antenna wire, 100 ft. 3/32 Dacron rope, 75 feet ladderline, center & end insulators, instructions. With a decent tuner, work all HF bands at any power level. Simple to assemble; will work in a variety of configurations in most any location of 100 feet or more. | $49.50 Kit |
882
 | CQ G5RV kit - the ZS6BKW version of this very popular antenna. Requires less than 100 feet of space, and will work 7 bands through a tuner and no traps or gimmicks. Designed for limited space, and requires careful assembly. Contains 110 feet of antenna wire, 40 feet of 450 ohm ladderline, 100 feet of 3/32 Dacron rope, 2 end and 1 center insulator, instructions. We do not recommend the G5RV to users with plenty of space. | $45.95 Kit |

884 | W5GI "MYSTERY" ANTENNA kit - The now famous "Mystery" antenna introduced in CQ Amateur Radio in July 2003. Created by John Basilotto, W5GI, and offered exclusively in kit form by The Wireman, has generated great interest because it works! It is about 100 feet long, works 80 through 6 meters to varying degrees without a tuner, really well with one, and great with a full size matching system. It is worth your time to read the article in CQ, and if you do, you'll want this kit! Every thing you need is included except a feed line (coax) of your choice and length. See also p/n CQ884A, a pre-assembled matching section which enhances 20 meters.
| $55.95 |
|
884A | 20 meter "enhancer" for the W5GI Antenna Kit. Further flattens the SWR curve even without a tuner. Fully assembled with male UHF connectors for simple installation at feed point.
| $15.95 |
|
884D | W5GI "MYSTERY" ANTENNA, fully assembled and tested by W5GI. Complete antenna requires only your choice of feedline (CQ116 or CQ562) and rope to hang it at your location (see 815 or 814).
