Preparing and Soldering the Coax
1.
o
Using the end of one of the
λ
/2 pieces of coax, strip back (remove) the outer
covering about 4 - 5 inches (10 - 12 cm). [Note: Be careful not to cut the braided
copper shielding wires underneath the outer cover].
2.
o
Unweave the braided copper shielding using a small screwdriver or the tip of a
pen or pencil. Start at the end of the wire and carefully unbraid all of the exposed
copper shielding (Figure 3a and 3b). Be careful not to cut or break too many of the
wires, but breaking a few is okay.

Twist all the individual wires together to form one continuous wire (Figure 3c).
