I am homebrewing (if that term isn't overkill) a dipole and am using PVC joints...a T in the middle and straight connectors for the ends. Will these need to be treated (painted, etc) for UV protection? My experience: White PVC turns brittle under TX and AZ UV rays. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |

I have unpainted PVC poles up in Michigan and they have held up for
years with just a bit of powdering of the surface... If you are using the dipole for a year or three leave it bare... If you think it may be up for decades, spray with a dark color paint to block UV... denny |
