As I can't wait for a dipole installation (not ready yet for it) I ve decided to use my little tarheel that was on my car so I can use the HF bands with my YAESU 857D.
The task was easy but had some tricky parts. Like the connection of the remote control. For the connection of the tarheel a RG213 cable was used and for the remote control a UTP cable (for the 12V power). An extra ground was attached from the connector to the wall as these antennas need a really good grounding. So far it performs quite well on most occassions so it will be a small solution until the dipole is installed.
