antenna guide

 I use the outside tube of a nyrod. Push the antenna into the tube, tie a knot in the antenna at the very end. Make a slit in the tube and pull the knot into the slit. Push the tube into the fuse when you install the receiver and leave it loose inside the fuse. It hurts nothing being loose. When ready to remove the receiver pull tube and antenna out at same time. No hassle to remove or install.
This method hasn't failed yet.

  Hello,

  What kinds of ways are you all using to guide your antenna through the fuse? I just haven't found a way that I liked a whole lot. I want something that is pretty easy to get the antenna in and out, even at the field. I've used some guide tubes, but I always needed a pushrod to ram it back in so that I had a fully extended antenna. Just looking for some ideas. Thanks in advance.
