Remember at Field Day when Uncle Joe tripped over the dipole or inverted vee end and yanked the whole thing down? You were off the air for a hour or more while you fixed the dipole center wires and rehung it! Remember someone walking into the wire and then blaming the ops for creating a hazard? These highly visible dipole insulators in bright yellow will help solve that problem! They won't stop the the unaware of course, but at least the yellow insulator will get their attention.

Perfect for making inexpensive ham radio dipole or inverted Vee antennas! Works great for Shortwave Antennas and Prepper Antennas. These are also good for balloon launched vertical antennas for visibility on the antenna wire, and they don't weigh a lot for the payload lift. Durable, use them over and over.

Keep these insulators, a roll of light weight wire, and some coax cable together and you are all set to make a handy antenna for emergency operations, in a time of need for bugging out for your ham rig or shortwave receiver, or as a camping antenna. Perfect for bug out bags and shelters with the super light weight design and small size.

The formula for building dipole antennas is 468/Freq (in MHz) and then divide by 2 to get each leg length, ie: for 40 meters it would be something like 468/7.050 for 66.38ft/2 = 33.2 feet per leg. For a Inverted Vee antenna deduct about 5% from each leg's length.

ENJOY!
