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. http://www.k6mhe.com/n7ws/MossyLine.jpg What do you suppose the dielectic properties are when that stuff totally bridges the line and is wet? I don't do anything. Ever heard of Oregon mist? When I first moved up here on the northern California coast I put up a doublet feeding it with window line. The next spring when I dropped the antenna for some maintenance I found moss growing on the feed line.Need I say it was replaced with something better? |
