Kulpsville planning

I’ve been doing some preliminary planning for Kulpsville the last week or so.  I’m not a big FM guy but I do have a nasty Chinese splatterbox I found in the basement.  And when I say Nasty & Splatterbox, I mean it. But WTF its kulpsville, right? So last weekend I spent a whopping $12 at Home Depot & started  building.

The 1/2″ Copper tubing of the Dipole is encased in 3/4″ PVC.

A wood block is used to separate the two halves of the dipole. A slice is removed from the wood to allow the wire to bypass. The wood block will sit in the middle of the PVC  “T” and will be pinned in place by a small piece of sturdy wire drilled though the PVC and block.











Antenna is designed for indoor portable use. Will work outdoors but a sturdier support will be needed. I plan on using it something like this, zip tied to a hotel room chair.  preliminary tests seem to be OK, works better on the lower end of the FM band.













My big question I need to address in the next week is looming. I have only a couple hundred bucks to spend and I’m trying to decide. Do I embarress myself with putting the 10w FM splatterbox on air that wipes out my HD TV easily, even with the crappy Low Pass Filter attached. So I have my eye on a nicer Low Pass filter, Or do I just pick up a sweet but low power FM rig that I hope will not require a filter. As I only use FM at kulpsville & don’t want to broadcast at home. Or do I just use the splatterbox as ugly as it is & pick up the Zoom H2 & try to record a bunch of good audio at the fest.

decisions, decisions.
