The 4m Slim Jim antenna project provides a construction guide for a low-cost, high-performance aerial designed specifically for the 70 MHz FM band. This design achieves a 1:1 SWR across the 4m FM band with straightforward adjustment of the feed point, utilizing RG-58 coax. Its low angle of radiation contributes to effective signal propagation. Construction involves using plastic knitting needles as spreaders and a telescopic fishing pole for support, with components secured using two-part epoxy. Annealed bare single-core copper wire forms the radiating element. The setup process includes raising the antenna at least 3 meters above ground for tuning, adjusting the RG-58 feed point for optimal SWR, and then soldering connections. Waterproofing is achieved with yacht varnish. The design emphasizes low wind resistance for durability, making it suitable for exposed outdoor installations. A PDF construction diagram is available to supplement the written instructions.
