The MW3RUH , Dave Thomas
SLIM JIM PROJECT
Using "custom"
spacers!
More Ham Ingenuity from across the pond!
"I
Had a go at making the Slim Jim from the
Hamuniverse website.
I used plastic reels to distance the
spacing out correctly.
Tested on 144,000 ,145,000 and 146,000.
SWR
is 1.2 across the board. Opens the repeater on low power.
See the
pictures below and have fun!
Excellent project!"

"Custom Spacers" up
close.
Notice plastic ties holding them in
place.
Editor's Note:
Dave's tips on the spacers using plastic
reels really shows us
that a little "Ham Ingenuity" can go a long
way!
See Dave's ideas for the "Ugly Balun"
