[TowerTalk] Installing a Vaccum Cap

[Howard Klein]

Javier,
Although it is POSSIBLY better to use an insulating material (Bakelite, 
etc.) I install my vacum vars in a rubbermaid container allowing it to lie 
at the bottom of the box. I attach the wires to the variable by choosing a 
hose clamp of the proper size and placing the wire between it and the end of 
the variable. No need to solder and easy removal. I run full legal limit.

Because it´s the first time that I see such a cap I have several 
installation questions:

1.- What kind of material could be used as base, to afix the cap. Because I 
am afraid of afix it directly to the bottom of the Rubbermaid Container so I 
was thinking about nylon or bakelite. Am I right???

2.- Has two flat contact points, small but sharp, wich is the best method to 
solder the antenna wire? may I do it directly without risk of damage the 
Cap.

Your suggestions will be welcome.
