[Elecraft] Stealth antenna insulators

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Sounds great for heavier wires! "Weedeater" (string cutter) refills are
available from almost any hardware store. 

Simple fishing line "leader" will do quite well to hold up reasonably light
weight wire antennas too. If 'stealthy' is needed, you'll be using a light
weight wire anyway. 

"Magnet" wire will work although the stuff I've seen is soft copper and
stretches easily. The last time I needed a stealth antenna, I used some
white-covered "wirewrap" wire from Radio Shack. Stronger, not prone to
stretching and virtually invisible from a few feet away.

Check out the various plastic(?) strings for weedeaters at your local
lawnmower repair.  These come on a reel, some with 500 ft others with about
50 ft in different size, color, and thickness.
