antenna guide

[Del Rykert]

I have been using the smaller Nyrod as a sleeve and slide the wire down inside it after it is glued inside the fuse. The small size allows the wire to slide yet to small to allow kinking. I would be fearful of cutting the wire using a rod to jamb it down the tube. You don't want to create an electrically shorter antenna length.

  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.
