Way back years ago, back when men were men, when DOS was unheard of, and AM
was king, the thing to do was to get a big ol' slab of paraffin and a double
boiler. Melt the paraffin in the double boiler and boil the wooden dowels
in the paraffin. The dowels absorbed the wax and became (somewhat)
waterproof after which they could be used as spacers.

I'm installing a temporary V antenna with a 600 ohm ladder feed about
50 ft in length. Anybody have experience using 6" wood dowels as
separators? What happens when it rains?
