Ok, managed to kill my back filling the garden beds, so not a lot of progress (on the antenna or finishing up the XYL's garden beds).
But for those that want pic's
What the sun and wind has done to the original 300 OHM ribbon:
And somebody's watering system is now short a couple or three meters of 1/2" irrigation pipe:
When I go over to the Men's Shed next Tuesday, I'll take the pipe with me and make a drilling and cutting jig.
The intention is to cut it to 120mm lengths and drill to 100mm spacing (or ~5" and 4" in proper measurements), giving something in the region of a 450 Ohm feedline, or so the 'net says.
Happy to change that if somebody can show a reason it should be different.
