How do you keep the water on the feedline? Mine
always beads up and falls to the ground.


Here's a photo of a piece of Danny's line (Wireman 552), after it set
around in the Arizona 5% humidity for a while It was still green when
I got it.

What do you suppose the dielectic properties are when that stuff
totally bridges the line and is wet?

Seems as if some of us are taking special circumstances and applying
them to all cases. I have the same type of line, and after several
years, it's still glossy, and the water beads up on it.


The questioner asked how to keep the water on the line. An answer was
provided. No mention was made that this was a universal problem.

I return you to your regularly scheduled catfight.

I will return to the woodwork.
