|    Campaign signs as insulators for homebre    |

      From: wa2ise@ix.netcom.com              Now that election day is over, go harvest some of those campaign lawn signs       that had sprouted like weeds all over town. You want the ones that are made of       what looks like corrugated plastic, more accurately square cells that run up       and down inside. As        mentioned in a QST article a few months ago, cut the signs up into pieces that       you can then use as spacers to hold a pair of wires (like 14 AWG stripped       house wire) apart a desired separation, to create ladder line of some desired       impedance. Use some hot        melt glue to keep the spacers in position on the wires. Position the glue so       it doesn't trap water.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
