Topband: Preeforms

[Gedking at aol.com]

In addition to k4kyv information I'd like to add that I always keep a  couple 
extra preforms. To use when replacing or even adding insulators. ( If you  
can get at them that is ) I just put one preform on each side of the Insulator  
and use a come-a-long to put tension on each side of the insulator to be  
replaced. then Very Carefully remove the Preforms. to replace the insulator.  I've 
even added Insulators to the upper guys using this method and used them for  
an inverted Vee antenna.
