RGL Posted March 6 Author Share #185 Posted March 6 (edited) Hard to pick but this is the radio antennae. Attempt 5 today. When I did it years ago it worked well but I’ve always wanted them slack. So very thin wire in the centre and denier lines on the outer. This is pretty much the hardest part of the build Edited March 6 by RGL BANYAN, Old Collingwood, ccoyle and 11 others 7 7 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted March 15 Share #200 Posted March 15 Just stumbled into your log Greg. With a bit of time, I will read the entire thread about how your masterpiece was made. I´m sure, there´s a lot to learn in it. Your Dreadnought looks fantastic overall and I couldn´t imagine, how difficult the antenna rigging was.

amateur Posted March 18 Share #202 Posted March 18 You learn something new every day. I never realized there was this 'slack' in the antennae.

Egilman Posted March 18 Share #203 Posted March 18 2 hours ago, amateur said: I never realized there was this 'slack' in the antennae. Yep Radio aerials are never taut, especially in the beginnings of wireless.... The copper wire was just plain too soft, they would break under their own weight if stretched too tight... By the time WWII came around they had switched to aluminum wire for aerials, much much stronger, they could actually pull them almost straight... I have a headache from trying to figure out how he did it without making a tangled mess...
