  K1VR:  The u-bolt and saddle method is clearly superior.  But don't tighten them too much.  The potting method was subject to bad mixing, to compound getting old while on the shelf, and to leaking out the bottom of the potting head.  The new clip method
 i
  s field installable right then and there, also permitting you to shorten a long length that you may have overestimated.
  
  > 4) Is the "old style" Phillystran and its potting heads still available for purchase ??
  
  K1VR:  Yes.  Texas Towers had it last time I checked (to splice some old stuff which had rubbed against a branch which grew).
