Chis,
get a length of any size RF cable such as RG-8, RG-5913, RG-68, 72, etc.
Carefully cut the plastic jacket off and bunch up the braid and
slide it off the center inulator.
This stuff can be soldered to control the ends and make pigtails for grounding.
Beware of cheap RG-8 as the sheild is very sparse.
Any CB, HAM or electronics shop will have it.
