[TowerTalk] Dipole center connector

[David Hachadorian]

I also am curious about failure modes on the Budwigs.  It is possible to 
misuse the Budwigs by putting strain on the exposed copper parts.  The 
antenna wire is supposed to be secured to the PLASTIC part of the 
insulator, with a zero-strain connection to the copper part.  I haven't 
had any problems with the Budwigs, but then again, I'm not using #10 
antenna wire in 100 foot trees.
