- I have found that 20 foot lengths of 1/2 inch PVC pipe works very well in getting radial wires through, around and under the very prickly shrubbery that gets in the way here in the New Mexico desert.

- I find that 1/2 inch PVC pipe is handy for many things. It can be cut into 6" spacers or insulators. I use it for spacers on my Shunt Fed tower's shunt feed rod. I used 1/2" EMT for the shunt feed ro

- I use 1/2" 75 ohm hardline for shunt feed on my tower. plenty of it around, shield is aluminum protected from the elements. Seems to work just fine. Wayne N1WR _______________________________________

- At a prior QTH in the 80's I used 3/4" PVC pipe and T's to support a length of 3/4" CATV hardline as the shunt feed. A single piece of #12 didnt work well at all at any spacing using bandwidth and pi

- ZR and HAROLD, I have been having issues with the tie wraps breaking in the AZ sun. I suspect the UV is getting to them badly. The metal ones don't break, but I can't use those for shunt feeding, of

- Using PVC pipe and their matching T's there is no need of tiewraps. A couple of hose clamps just above the T will hold them in place. Carl KM1H ZR and HAROLD, I have been having issues with the tie w

- ZR, Bruce and Bob, thanks for your info. There's the problem..... I was using the white ones and didn't know the black ones are UV resistant. I'll check those out. ZR, I need to use tie wraps in my c

- I learned a lesson a long time ago here, after I used big black tie-wraps on all my cables on towers. I have white ties and ropes that are still good after 14 years, and black that fell apart after

- I've found that black Thomas & Betts Ty-Raps are UV resistant, at least in the Ohio sun. I think the T&B p/n was TY-525-M. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com _______________________________________________ UR RS
