Yes, but this is manufactured and I thought N3QE was wanting to home

copperweld while they attach spacers!


It wouldn't be near as difficult if they used spacers such as used
by W7FG in his marketed 600ohm ladderline. For spacers, He uses sections
of stiff plastic cut from tubing used in drip irrigation products, drills
his holes, and then slits the end of the tube down to the hole so all one
has to do is force the wire into the slit and on into the tight hole. No
need for the difficult process of sliding spacers all the length of a
run..... plus a heck of a lot cheaper, too.

Absolutely correct! That would have been a lot easier. I even have a
bunch of the tubing I could have used. I had the phenolic rods and
could never find a use for them. For me, the fun of home brewing is
using what is on hand and only purchasing what I can't find at home.
