I also am curious about failure modes on the Budwigs. It is possible to
misuse the Budwigs by putting strain on the exposed copper parts. The
antenna wire is supposed to be secured to the PLASTIC part of the
insulator, with a zero-strain connection to the copper part. I haven't
had any problems with the Budwigs, but then again, I'm not using #10
antenna wire in 100 foot trees.

What pulls apart? I have Budwig centers for temporary dipoles without

I am looking for a better dipole center connector better than the Budwig.
Any ideas?
The Budwig can pull apart.
