In a similar vein, I'm helpingto rect an antenna in a relatively
inaccessible location and want to minimize element vibration. I have no
intention of tryingto fill each element with foam, but I've read that
securing a rope inside the element will prevent resonant vibration from
occurring. If this is true, will something like "parachute cord" do the
trick? It won't be exposed to eather, so UV deteriorartion isn't an issue.
An even better way is to wrap the rope in a spiral on the outside. That
kills the wind induced vibration very effectively. (you see this on car
antennas).
doesn't even have to be the full length.
