Cost per Kit: The payment amount for cash or check is $20, while via PayPal the cost will be $21.23
The materials to be utilized for the construction are as follows:
– DX Engineering (DXE-DWK) single band Low Power Dipole Kit
– #14 or #20 Gauge (your choice) Red Stranded Copper THHN Wire
– A Soldering Iron kit will be supplied by PCARS for the construction project.
Builders will be given the option to choose between constructing a 10- or 20-meter dipole. The construction will involve the use of DX Engineering (DXE-DWK) single band Low Power Dipole Kits.
Instructor: John Myers , WG8X
The DXE-DWK Dipole Kits are designed to be user-friendly, with only 6 solder points needed for assembly. The lightweight center insulator and end insulators are essentially printed circuit boards. Once put together, the center insulator can also be used as a wire winder for easy storage in between uses. Both the center insulator and end insulators come with helpful printed information such as OHMS Law, dipole length formula, and tuning hints. The end insulators even double as 6 inch rulers to assist with antenna tuning.
