Topband: Materials for Beverages?

Tue Aug 3 14:16:04 EDT 2021

Two things concern me about black. UV and possible carbon used to color
black - which may be conductive at RF frequencies

Gene,

I have used those and others in that series with only fair results.  They do
break more often than I'd like.  I replace about 10% of them per year, which
is acceptable given that they are cheap. But I have not found anything
better.

FYI - I'd be happy to use black ones, but have never seen them.  My local
farm store carries the exact same bright yellow ones you listed.  A link to
a "preferred type" would be welcome.  I'm a bit of a birder and have not
heard of any hummingbird death issues.  References?

73,
Drew K3PA
