[TowerTalk] Insulator Placement Clarification

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Dick, 

You question is much more complex than it would appear because of the
five ham bands covered by a log periodic antenna.  There's no simple
answer, and an EZNEC model would provide the most accurate understanding
of the tradeoffs.

The simple answer for a 5 band antenna is to use Phillystran or fiberglas for at least the top 40 feet of each guy.   Otherwise, use on
insulator every 8 feet or so for the top 40 feet of each guy.

73!
