I have to agree with VP8NO. I don't see why insulators would be necessary.
If I were putting up a stealth antenna, I wouldn't be using #12 wire anyway. #18 stranded copper clad steel is much smaller and should last forever if not allowed to kink. And I'd use dark braided UV resistant nylon fishing line (monofilament is generally pretty shiny) for the support line, wrapped and glued to the antenna wire for a low profile connection. The most visible component of such an antenna would be the feedline. 73, Dave AB7E Mike Harris wrote: > G'day, > > Why bother with insulators if you are using a non-conducting synthetic > rope/string to hold the antenna up.
