Yet Another Doublet Centre Support
If you need strain relief on the feedline of your Field Dipole /Doublet you can use a small PVC Tee with a hole drilled in the top to allow it to slip over the end of a fiberglass pole. The feedline can then be secured with nylon cable ties or electrical tape. Various PVC fittings and “Supreme Cork” synthetic wine corks make good end-insulators. I often just tie on fishing snap swivels so I can easily clip on some lightweight nylon cord to support the ends of the antenna.
I always use Bowline Knots to tie the wire.
