In explanation of my bare white PVC antenna parts:
I wanted to try out the antenna first before going
to the trouble of painting or taping the PVC. If
you want to put up an antenna for years without
working on it, then you should do something about
UV. I'm going to rebuild mine pretty soon and replace
the relays with traps, etc so at that time I will
probably make it more permanent.
Some of the gray PVC I have used in the past has
turned brown in the sun, for whatever that is worth.
