[AMRadio] Ceramic feedline spacers

Hi Max,

http://amfone.net/Amforum/index.php?topic=17127.0

Also I remember seeing them in detail in the 1930's ARRL handbooks.

I have a big bucket of spreaders that are 3/4"+ diameter and about 8-10 inches long from the AT&T overseas radio site.  Never used them.  I guess they are for 10KW or so?

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.
