The center should not be a high voltage point if you're using it on the
resonant frequency.

Ive just picked up a 402BA but was unaware of the issue with element-to-boom
insulators which breakdown
at 500-600 watts. I'm told that this particular antenna is an newer vintage
and
was used at 1500 watts.
Can anyone substantiate that a 402BA design or the same design as a 402BA-S
or
a 397-S was available
with improved element-to-boom insulators ? If you can validate this
offering,
then please tell me more about
the element insulators so that I can inspect & measure these.
Thanks
