[TowerTalk] Flexweave Question

[Jim McDonald]

The Flexweave advertising used to quote my late friend, W5PJR, who claimed that Flexweave could be spliced using a square knot,  I know that sounds silly, but I have used it without any issues, AFAIK.

I did use steel wool to clean off oxidation.

With that type of termination it sounds like you plan on the antenna wire being under a lot of tension. I have no personal experience with Flexweave but I would be concerned about the small Ø0.005 wires breaking.

Any suggestion on the correct thimble size and nicopress (compression) sleeve that would be used with #14 and #12 Flexweave?
