[Fwd: Re: [AMRadio] Feedline Spreaders]

As long as you're drilling and cutting, you might want to consider my 
cheapskate solution.  Get yourself a package of 10 plastic clothes 
hangars from your favorite dollar store (for a dollar) and knock 
yourself out!  I got the black ones, they should be less susceptible to 
the effects of UV, my wife won't fuss at me for cutting up her good 
hangars, AND they match my wire.   ;-)   I haven't got a clue how many 
spacers you can make from that many hangars because I haven't run out 
yet.  I used the open wire feedline article on Cebik's website as my 
"how to" reference for my 450-ish ohm line.  Once the Texas Panhandle 
thaws out long enough to clean up all the tree limbs broken by snow and 
ice I'll get it in the air and see how well it works.

Happy Hamming,
