Thanks to all for the suggestions on this. Seems like the consensus is to just paint over the red/white with a good quality latex paint or cold galvanize paint. Seems like a good plan. As a follow up
Roger, I only use Amphenol 83-1SP, PL259's. I believe they are the best going for PL-259's, and have the white teflon insulation. You need to be careful when soldering these teflon insulated ones or
Because it's required to have WHITE during the day at a different intensities and then than RED at night. It's called a "dual mode" system. If you want the whole scoop. Download the 7460. Page 56 sho
I've noticed the same thing at my work place. We have a 400FT tower painted in the red/white configuration. At night it has red lights and then switches to white strobes during the day. 73, Stew K3ND

Well, we do have a 9cm band and there are at least six of us using it here in the USA. I don't think your suggestion would bother the other 300,000 or so hf/vhf operators though. 73, Gerald K5GW In a
Interesting idea! Since no current band has a 9 in it, you could substitute white for black and go "EIA" -- this would cover the WARC bands: 160M - brown, blue, white 20M - red, white 17M - brown. vi
He is just calling them buttons.....they really are the end caps for the tubes that make up the trap capacitors. My KT34X-A was bought new in 82' and came with the white caps. Many years later I hear
I like it! And you could even add "for gold or silver" for the 5 and 10 percent tolerance bands. Keith NM5G Eagle Scout The (clean) Boy Scout electronics merit badge version is Better Be Right Or You

From Jim's post it could be Delrin. I'll know when I give it the heat test. I have a number of 1" Delrin rods about a foot long, but they arr not white, but rather an off color that is close to white

My new Amphenol connectors use Teflon insulators which is white with a waxy like feel. Teflon handles moderate temperature and voltage well, BUT, don't apply a really hot soldering to it as the bypro

It appears you had a lemon. Welding of Aluminum is not something for the casual do-it-yourselfer. The process requires special equipment (Heliarc) to fuse the aluminum in a non-oxidizing environment
And the link to the photos is where? I spend a lot of time working with fiberglass, epoxy, and vinly ester resins. I don't know where you are located, but the reason most fiberglass is painted white
Let's clarify some things here before this starts wandering all over the place. 1. I wasn't trying to splits tenths of a db in terms of impact. It was intended to be a simple relative comparison with

All I can tell you is that at one time they were available. I don't remember where we purchased them. (They are devilishly difficult to read on small wire sizes) We used to use those at work, but the
Forget about "strong" adhesive tape. Teflon, like most high molecular weight plastics (e.g., cutting board) tend to migrate, and no adhesive will hold for long. "Glue" is historically made from anima
