I have had very good luck using the Budwig RF-1 dipole center insulators in
my 80m array, with 50 #73 beads over Teflon coax and PL-259s on each end.
I use big black plastic tiewraps, looped over the center insulators and
pulled snug along the beads, to serve as strain relief. A layer of Scotch
33+ works well to protect the beads and attach the strain relief.
