[Antennas] windom coaxial connection

FYI: I was just over to Home Depot in Niles, IL. They carry 500' rolls
of #18 bare copper for about 21ドル.50. Unfortunately, they were out of
stock of full rolls, but would sell me shorter lengths at 0ドル.11/ft. Went
over to Menard's, bought a 100' roll of vinyl covered #18 for 4ドル.82
(incl. tax)
