[Elecraft] Stealth antenna insulators

[Peter Sinclair]

A good stealth antenna insulator for a light weight antenna which is almost 
transparent can be made from the plastic which holds a four pack together 
especially if you fold the four into one. Good for portable use also when 
you have drunk the eight cans HI.
