Default wrapping ssb antenna on kevlar backstay

Actually, Kevlar and similar arimids have a dielectric constant range of
3.5 to 4.5 compared to plexiglass at 2.6 to 3.5.

I looked up the Kevlar website at:

One interesting thing it says is:

"Low Electrical Conductivity"

What's interesting is what it DOESN'T say...NO electrical conductivity.

Food cooking in my microwave oven has "low electrical conductivity", too,
as it converts microwaves into heat.

Most interesting topic. Dupont doesn't mention anything else as they try
to sell the stuff.
