This is something I've been working on, and have used, for quite some time. I wanted to create a whole-enchilada approach to a QRP EFHW antenna that allows me to not have to take anything apart. With this design all that is needed is to unwrap the wire and plug in coax.
Two models are available, one with 2 mil holes that are sized for 28 AWG wire and the other with 3 mil holes that are sized for 24 AWG wire. It's possible that larger sized wire will fit through the respective holes, but these are the sizes that I have seen work. Drop a comment for the sizes you've used for more data points.
I have employed this by using the velcro wrap that holds the wire to attach the 49:1 to bushes, trees, signs, etc.
Greatly appreciate you all looking at my modified design, thank you.
The following descriptions are the components that I used. Others may work, this is what I have used.
