For use with low-weight QRP antennas only (MFJ-1899T, Elecraft AX1/AX2). Works well with PLA.
To attach, unscrew half of clamp opposite of handle, slide onto metal bar. It will require some effort, but the snug fit helps keep the antenna from wobbling. Then screw on the BNC adapter, attach a short coax jumper and clamp to something solid, flat and horizontal (table, desk, bench, etc).
I attempted to make one oriented for attaching to vertical mount points like table legs, but the clamp tends to rotate so I am not satisfied with the results so far.
Made for the smallest of the Irwin brand “Quick-Grip” clamps. I have noticed that Dewalt also makes a similar clamp, but I have not tested with it. If you try it and it fits, let me know. If not, let me know anyway. It doesn't look like they make one in the same size, but it shouldn't be to hard to adjust the measurements.
Update: V7 is a redesign. It's a bit longer and is easier for me to modify in the future, i.e. now there's a version with a 30 degree angle to place the antenna further out from the clamped surface. Included .slvs file if you want to modify.
