Thanks to all who replied to my request for comments. All of the feedback
is useful.
I am now planning a FCP installation mounted on the fence, offset with PVC

At a prior QTH in the 80's I used 3/4 PVC pipe and T's to support a length
of 3/4 CATV hardline as the shunt feed. A single piece of #12 didnt work
well at all at any spacing using bandwidth and pileup busting as the

ZR and HAROLD, I have been having issues with the tie wraps breaking in the AZ
sun. I suspect the UV is getting to them badly. The metal ones don't break,
but I can't use those for shunt feeding, of course. Can you recommend a source
for ones that don't break? It is a real pain replacing

Veneuzela from petroleum waste.

Using PVC pipe and their matching T's there is no need of tiewraps. A couple

ZR, Bruce and Bob, thanks for your info. There's the problem. I was
using the white ones and didn't know the black ones are UV resistant.
I'll check those out.
ZR, I need to use tie wraps in my case. I am not, currently, using PVC
so I need something that will not make electrical
That's sad to hear at such a young age. UA9YAB was a regular on 80 and 160
meters. I'm sure Alex gave many people his zone and DXCC, but most important
he was a human and a fellow Ham.
I hope we all work harder to be respectful and mature, and not stereotype
people with ignorant comments.

I learned a lesson a long time ago here, after I used big black tie-wraps on
all my cables on towers. I have white ties and

I've found that black Thomas Betts Ty-Raps are UV resistant, at least in
the Ohio sun. I think the TB p/n was TY-525-M.

I have some wide vinyl tape that I use to put 2 layers over the ty-wrap,
keeps the sun off.
Worked OK in a pinch (For now)
Best substance is stainless strap with a small fitting (Wraplock), lasts
forever.
Even a slick ratchet tightening device in the can, mercy what will they
think of next.
Did you mean black TB Ty-Raps from Home Depot?
