I bought a few new PL-259 connectors and fixed the end of the coax section. SWR still seems good post-repair.

I now have the V58 mounted above the M104C, hope to be able to tune it either tonight or tomorrow night. I also finished creating the rest of the eight guy wires I am going to use to try to hold this thing up. Also installed the Yaeusu rotor and 12 foot aluminum mast with thrust bearing on the two mounting plates, then aligned to mast from the rotor through the thrust bearing.

Next up after that is drilling the hole to run the two RG213 cables and rotor cables into the basement through two inch PVC pipe. Then move the beam and V58 to the aluminum mast, attach the chokes and run the coax down the mast.

Then, I think, raise the antenna, attach/adjust the guy wires and run the cables in through the conduit access point in the wall and into the radio shack (i.e. my basement office).

[QUOTE="TimmyTheTorch, post: 821049, member: 64271"] I bought a few new PL-259 connectors and fixed the end of the coax section. SWR still seems good post-repair. I now have the V58 mounted above the M104C, hope to be able to tune it either tonight or tomorrow night. I also finished creating the rest of the eight guy wires I am going to use to try to hold this thing up. Also installed the Yaeusu rotor and 12 foot aluminum mast with thrust bearing on the two mounting plates, then aligned to mast from the rotor through the thrust bearing. Next up after that is drilling the hole to run the two RG213 cables and rotor cables into the basement through two inch PVC pipe.
