DX ACE,

For me it is not about the End Insulator Failing or the Wire
Failing. I had nothing to do with the design or make-up of the
Insulator or the Antenna Wire. If they fail then that is on
their respective manufactures; not me.
..
However, I do build the "Joint" {Connection} between the Antenna
Wire and the Insulator; and if it fails; then that is on me.
To that end I have a tendancy to OCD in Over-Building the Joint.
..
When building a "No-See-Um" 30 AWG Magnet Wire Antenna with Mono
Fishing Line for Rigging. I build the Wire-to-Mono Joints with
Fishing Line Swivels and Double-Lay and Double Bite (Wrapped)
Knots.
- The Wire may break.
- The Mono may break.
- The Swivel may break.
But the Knots will hold [.]

i just try to build the best 'joint' i can ~ RHF
