[PVRCNC] Ladder Line Insulators

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I think the way he works that is that the 35 buck bag is enough to do
100 feet of open wire at 18 inch spacing, or 67 spreaders in the bag.

The 35 buck bag can do the 40/40/40 counterpoise described at the club
meeting.  It will also barely do a 33/33 in-line 3 wire 2 wire version
not presented, which requires a series inductor to tune out reactance
against a 1/4 wave L.

73, Guy.
