Topband: Twin lead for antenna

[Tom Rauch]

I based my comments on a study I did when I owned a bike
rack business a few years ago.  I spent countless hours
riding in the back of a Suburban watching binder straps in
the wind.  We needed a binder to act as a hold down on
campers.  It didn't matter how you twisted, braced, or
protected a 'flat' in the wind, it would start to oscillate
like a guitar string. >>>

Don't install your Beverages on car trunks then!

Seriously, I've used twin lead,  ladder line, and window
line for Beverages since the 1970's!! My very first Beverage
installation was a V shaped array of two twin-lead
Beverages. I could get six directions out of two antennas! I
used that same wire in three locations until 1988, and never
had a problem with failure from anything but trees falling
on the wire.
