The actual antenna is made up of 2mm wire, the 2 coils are made up of 18 turns of 2mm wire and the distance of turns is also 2mm.
The diameter of the coils is 7/8 cm and the coax feed is comprised of 75 ohms, an old TV cable should do. But for a good feed from coax to the dipole a 1:1 Balun would help.
I'll let you know how it goes!
For years I had the DX-CC fan dipole in my attic and it worked great. The SWR in the winter was a bit higher due to the snow on the roof.
