wrapping ssb antenna on kevlar backstay
"Steve (another one)" wrote in
: Dear all May I pick-up on something mentioned in response to my earlier question. It was suggested that running a wire up a kevlar backstay is a simple soultion and avoids having to insulate a piece of conventional rigging. This sounds very sensible to me and plan to try it, it avoids having to mess with exposed connections to a wire backstay. Isn't Kevlar made of CARBON fibers? Carbon, being a conductor and electrical dummy load, used in resistors for converting electrical energy (i.e. HF signals) into heat. Larry. |
