this is close to how I did it last year, but I don't remember mine looking as neat and tidy. Who needs connectors to splice coax...

Actually I don't know why he cut off the first splice. Looked good
 Seriously, nice Western Union splice on the center conductor. I would definitely solder the center conductor and the braid, for both electrical and mechanical reasons. A piece of the dielectric can be used to fill the gap. Similar technique can be used to build VHF & UHF collinear antennas with coax. https://k5frc.org/training/coliner%20antenna.pdf 73 Dave, VE3WI |
