[Lowfer] Lowfer Hints and Kinks

[Les Rayburn]

For those of us with air loop antennas, I found an easy and cheap
way to keep the windings straight in the middle of those long
runs between spreaders.

My local craft store sells popsicle sticks for about $2 a bag of fifty.
You simply weave the stick in between the wires of your loop, which
serves to take up any slack and hold them in place...makes
for higher Q, deeper nulls, and better performance all around.

To make them waterproof, simply dip them into a can of
varnish or polyurethane.
