[AMRadio] Ceramic feedline spacers

[Donald Sanders]

I have seen it done both ways. I made mine with the wire on the outside edge and a short wire thru the hole and wrapped around the feedline wire on both sides of the spacer to hold the wire in place. I also saw one where he used black plastic cable ties thru the hole to hold the wire on the outside. I guess you could run the wire thru the hole and use a short wire around the outside and wrapped on the wire. For me it was too much work to thread the wire thru all those spacers.

I have a bunch of 2" (hole spacing) ceramic feedline spacers, they have a hole in each end with a groove running around the outside, now here's the question,( and I am only asking this as after looking for most of the evening here I cannot find the answer anywhere) Does the feedline wire go in the hole or on the outside and how to fix the wire to the spacer, I would assume the feedline wire goes in the hole and a wire twist holds it there, however, some say the feedline goes on the outside with the wire twist from the inside.
