Installing New Coax for my ZS6BKW Multi-band Dipole (includes how to solder a PL-259)

#hamradio #hf #antenna

This video shows how I replaced the RG8X coaxial cable that feeds my ZS6BKW antenna with LMR400 coaxial cable. I show how to neatly create an entry into my house/shack using a cable gland.

The cable gland is available at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H1T6RT4/...

I also show how to install a PL-259 (UHF) connector to the end of the coaxial cable.

Note: I am aware of the fact that the PL-259 connector isn’t always within the view of the camera in this video. It’s not easy to film this by myself. But you should still be able to comprehend the methodology.
