Attaching Antenna Element Wire to the End Insulators
The end of antenna element wire is woven through an end insulator as shown below. Note the way
the wire is woven through the end insulator, especially the side where the antenna wire is coming
from. There is a dip or cupped out area to assist in a smooth wire transition point.

Attaching Rope to the End Insulators
DX Engineering Double-braided Polyester Rope
STI-DBR
should be secured to the end insulators
(depending on your installation) using a non-slip knot. One suggestion for attaching the rope is
shown below. The ends of the rope should be cauterized with a small flame to prevent the rope
braid from fraying.
