Re: LF: Antenna Insulators

Hi Steve

I have used 1000mm (~3ft) of about 22mm diameter grey pvc waterpipe at each
end of the marconi, together with two egg type insultors at each end of the 
pipe.
ie -----------O--===============================--O-------------

Probably not recommended because of the possible accumulation of moisture
in the pipe, but has worked well for me for several years.
