Rich, Wrap the ends of the wire (Actually Coax Center Conductor) with Electrical tape. As antenna hangs in the heat and cold and does the antenna thing, the insulation will migrate, leaving a small stub of copper conductor sticking out. And it is possible to get arcs off of it if you don't insulate it.
Also, there is some special goop that you coat the aluminum with after you brighten up the joints. I think you can use Penetrox or NoAlOx, but the folks on the Elecraft list can better enlighten you. Also, the folks at Mosley can enlighten you with more information: http://www.mosley-electronics.com/page%20files/home.htm Between your Mosley Classic 33, and the Glen Martin Tower, we appreciate you doing business with Amateur Radio suppliers from Missouri! 73 de KA0OUV -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Rich Arland Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 20:16 To: North Georgia QRP Group; SECC; South East DX Club; Gwinnett ARS; Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [SECC] Mosley TH-3jr Weirdness OK, Gang!!!
