I run my ladderline wires through the holes of the insulator a couple of
times
(making a single loop around the insulator) with the insulation still
intact and
then run the stripped end to the antenna wire. It lasted 2 years on a
130 ft
high 80M dipole supported at the ends. The ladderline was secured by a
small rope pulling opposite to the run to the house at about 5 ft above
ground.
