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?



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?
