Convenient, compact links for use with 2mm banana plugs to make it very easy to build a linked dipole or EFHW antenna.

Linked dipole antennas and end-fed half-waves are very popular portable antenna designs. These tiny links make it easy to connect or disconnect a section of the antenna to tune to different frequencies.  Plug the 2mm banana plug into the female connector to close the link, or pull it out and place it in the storage hole to open the link.  

I designed two sizes - one for 26 ga wire and the other for 22 ga wire. 

Print in PETG for durability and heat resistance. Nylon or ABS are likely good as well.
