Looking for ideas about strain relief for 450 ohm ladder line (the =
plastic ribbon stuff with square holes in it).
Like: where one connects it to the centre of a dipole, seems uncouth to =
just hang it off the joints it makes with the antenna itself.
Have punched small holes in the webs and woven stranded fishing line =
through the holes, taken the line back to the insulator above to take =
weight of the feedline.=20
Am I doing right?
Any ideas?
Happy 2003
