Hey WD: I was searching around and found these....if your like me, Pictures give me much better idea of how to do things in a practical sense...and these seem very good for a beginner...(been there done that!)
Even though I have had my license since 1979, I am STILL learning!
I can still remember being pretty Green(not really knowing squat!) when I first got my ticket. So don't get overwhelmed by all the info.
A few antenna projects and a little time listening and operating,and you'll be an old pro
The first video is a quick overview of the assembly of a dipole. They certainly DO NOT need to be made exactly like the video, however it's a good explanation as to where you want to end up.
The second video is a little longer and covers some good info on the why antennas work the way they do, then shows how to get there. This Ham does a good job of keeping it Simple! When in reallity it really is, just takes a little practice and time to get to know the process.
Just some visual aids, to help you understand that though things seem a little over the top right now it's not really as difficult as your brain is telling you.
Again never feel bad about asking questions, we ALL had to start somewhere
All the Best
Gary
