antenna guide

[Michael H Lance]

Try using a really thin guide wire to pull it through the tube instead
of jamming it.  This removes the chance of cutting or kinking the
antennae during insertion.  Use of a little talc, or similar, as seen
earlier in this thread will make things easier yet.

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.
