I am looking for a couple of insulators for the ends of a long-wire
SSB antenna (_not_ a backstay). Glass insulators with a hole at each
end used to be common, but I haven't seen any lately, and Google
doesn't seem to help much. Any leads appreciated.
Thanks,

Get a piece of teflon, and drill two holes in it.
Last time I made an antenna, the shop which snold the
litze wire, also sold 2-holes blocks in plastic.

Try your Google search for "egg insulator" Most of these are made of
porcelain. You can also try any ham radio supplier.
