1. Coax and Connector Type: We've talked about different types of coax to use for your capacitor, and all I'm going to say about your feedline is to please use a decent piece of coax. You can certainly be little more flexible on the feed side, but quality makes for quality. Done. OK, there are several ways to hook your radio to the loop and you can do that by using different types of connectors. I'll tell you what I do, and then you can decide for yourself. I actually solder on PL-259s to a long piece of coax and attach the other side to the loop. I'll go into more detail on how this is done. You can also solder on a SO-239 and run another piece of coax to  your loop. It's really up to you. The important part here is getting the feed to from the coax to the loop done right. So let's go...

2. Preparing the Feed:  Take a fresh priece of coax and either solder on a PL-259 or SO-239. Detailed instructions on how to connect coax connectors can be found in many places and is beyond the scope of this project. If you do not feel comfortable soldering connectors on to coax, go ahead and take an exsiting piece of coax that has connectors and cut off one of the connectors on the end. So now we can begin the feed system. Remove the outside rubber from the coax for about three inches on one end, leaving the braid exposed. Cut and seperate the braid with your scissors. Pull the braid away from the center condutor and tape the bottom to give the braid strength. Add more tape between the center conductor and the braid so if pressure is applied it won't break off. 

3. Attaching the coax to the Loop as a Feed: You now have your coax with a connector on one end, and the seperated braid and center conductor. Good. Now let's take our constructed loop in hand, and we'll take the bottom of the loop -- the side opposite where we made the gap at the top, and attach the coax braid to the loop with our radiator clamp. You may want to sand down the spot where the braid get's attached the loop before you do this just to make sure the connection is as ideal as possible. Now the center conductor should be pointing up towards the inside of the loop. Take your copper wire or thin copper pipe and get ready. Strip off the center conductor dialectric for about 1/2 an inch. Take you thick copper wire or thin copper pipe -- it should be around 10 inches long -- and wrap it around your center conductor wire, or place your think copper pipe over the center conductor of the coax and crimp it on with a tool. You can also solder the connection, but use low heat so you don't burn the coax, or the dielectric. Now we'll complete the loop.

4. Finishing the Feed: Take your second radiator clamp and put it on the loop loosely on one side 5 or six inches from either side of the loop. It doesn't matter which side. Now place your thick copper wire, or think copper pipe through the raditor clamp off the one side and tighten it so it's secure, but you can still move it. It isn't important if you have too much wire or pipe, you may need it later, so don't bend it too much just yet.

You have now completed your loop from a mechanical level. Now comes the fun part. Tuning it and getting it on the air. Let's move on...
