[ARC5] Balanced antenna coupling...

But it's "in the attic" so snow shouldn't be too big of a problem?

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.
