   Campaign signs as insulators for homebre

   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.
