Default LADDER LINE SPREADERS

I was concerned about weight, John. How many do you have on your feed
line?

Hi, Folks.

I need ideas for CHEAP and uv stable, strong, light weight, waterproof
ladder line spreaders of about 4 or 5 inches wide. Wood in any
configuration will not do. PVC pipe will not do. Welding rod would
do but it is expensive.

I was thinking of Fiberglas tape, twisted and put in place and then
resin applied but that is very cumbersome.

Any ideas out there?

Thank you.


PVC pipe works well, I wouldn't reject it. Better yet look at plastic
gray conduit. It's made to stand up to the sun and is cheap and light. I
used it to make some 600 Ohm line for my antenna.
