My name is Ian. I recently purchased an inexpensive home brew vertical at a ham flea market.
It is in 5 sections which screw into each other. The whole thing, when collapsed, fits inside PVC tubing.
I am at a loss as to how put it all together and attach a cable for my IC-756PRO (also recently purchased).

I took a few photos with my phone, but don't know how to post them here. ]]> Introduce yourself Stargazer https://hamradioforum.net/threads/8936-Newbie-with-antenna-questions https://hamradioforum.net/threads/8920-Hello!?goto=newpost Fri, 10 May 2019 08:10:47 GMT Good Morning!

I’m new to the site and wanted to say hello. My name is Paul, KN4FIF, and I have had a General license since 2017.
I am mostly on 2m or 70cm (when time allows it), but would like to get into HF.

73,

Primarily HF with a smattering of 2 meter thrown in. Prefer DIY antennas but in current living accommodations need to resort to vertical as owner nixed any "wire hanging from trees! Liability issue!" Will be 80 in August 2019. Enjoy ragchew and FX when bands accommodate. QRP so as not to disturb neighbors.

I got my Technician Class License in December of last year, and got the General Class License March of this year.
Just got my first HF radio today, a used Kenwood TS-130s, and I am very happy and excited to be getting in to HF now.

I'm studying for the Amateur Extra License too, but want to take my time and really learn the material before taking the exam.

Anyways, I'd love to learn the history and design philosophy of this Kenwood radio I got today. Can anyone point me to website(s) where I can read about these things,?

Thank you in advance for any help!
