The shortening strip. By moving this strip, the dipole will become longer or shorter, resulting in a different resonance frequency.

What did you use for attaching it to the u-bolt and angle piece, and for the shortening strip? Looks like galvanized pipe strapping. I’d like to build one. Thanks and 73!

It’s called ‘mounting strip band’, probably available at your local hardware store.
I am curious what you mean by “RVS” for the “RVS metal shorting strap” and the “RVS tube for the isolator”. I assume these aren’t the same material, correct? I don’t know what the acronym stands for.
I was able to find copper strap with the holes throughout, at my local hardware store.
I’m almost done with this build and can’t wait to give this antenna a try! I appreciate the detailed plans presented on this site.

Oops… RVS is a dutch abbreviation for stainless steel. I will fix this, thanks for asking!
