[ARC5] Balanced antenna coupling...

Hello Wayne,

The suitability of your 6" insulators will depend on the maximum VSWR you 
expect and the conductivity of the surface to which you attach the 
insulators. While slate, ceramic, cement fibre or felt roof tiles may be 
good insulators in the summer, when loaded with road dust trapped in snow, 
that hypothesis may fail.

I am considering putting up a long wire or a loop in my attic, utilizing - 
believe it or not - military surplus Czech field phone wire; I have about a 
half mile of it available.  The wire has 4 individually insulated strands 
inside a sleeve.

How do you attach the wires to the supports (rafters, etc.?).  I was going 
to use some ceramic stand-offs about 6 in long that I bought from Fair 
Radio.

Thanks,

Wayne
