I'm considering insulating elements on large yagis and would like to
understand pro's and con's of various boom to element plate insulating
materials - RF insulation, physical strength, creep, uv resistance,
etc. These raw material properties are easily found, but have some had
longer term in use experience worth sharing?

I have never had an issue with this on any tower I have shunt fed that had
a Yagi at the top with insulated elements, but then again my insulators are
probably a lot better than the average ones used on commerical antennas. I
am thinking about shunt feeding a tower that is not mine and wanted to know
whether anyone has had any issue runniing 1500 watts to a shunt fed tower
that has a Yagi at the top with insulated elements. Im not wanting to
ground elements and don't need additional top loading. What I would like
to know is anyone has done any damage or melted anything.
Thanks...Stan, K5GO
