Has anyone actually measured the RF characteristics of the various nylon lines available?
Nylon is hydroscopic (absorbs water) and so is not necessarily a great insulator. I didn't know that and blithely used nylon as an easy-to-find insulating material until I had a nylon standoff in an RF circuit disintegrate quite unexpectedly. I've not tried it as an antenna insulator, but I have been wary of it since that experience.
