Dipole keeps melting?





Any ideas?


Check the websites of places like RF Davis, The Wireman or Radio
Works. They sell rope that is appropos to antenna use -- it stands up
to the outdoor environment, and doesn't stretch too much. They also
sell end insulators for antennas -- sounds like you may not be using
any -- the wire shouldn't tie directly to the rope.
