Morning all.
Just bought myself an Icom 7300 and I am looking to set up a dipole antenna.
One of the problems I'm facing is making up an RG58 connection to the antenna, quite a few instructional video's on Youtube similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Jxi1G-OpE&t=200s however a trip to the local Bunnings was unsuccessful, seems pvc fittings of the type I need are not available in Oz.
My question, can one of the forum members suggest an alternative connection using materials commonly available in Australia.
Any other suggestions re my antenna project would be appreciated.
In case you haven't guessed, I'm pretty new to the world of Amateur Radio.
