I have used the guide tube. Then used a small piece of square balsa stick
with the end of the antenna run through it. I used a t-pin to ream a small
hole for the ant. wire and tiny dot of CA to secure it. Then a small
dia. wire to slip it to the end of the guide tube. If you size the balsa
right it is a light friction fit to the tube and is easy to remove and
install. and no real weight.
<br> Hope that made sense :>)

<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Hello,</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>What
kinds of ways are you all using to guide your antenna through the fuse?
I just haven't found a way that I liked a whole lot. I want something that
is pretty easy to get the antenna in and out, even at the field. I've used
some guide tubes, but I always needed a pushrod to ram it back in so that
I had a fully extended antenna. Just looking for some ideas. Thanks in
advance.</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Emory Schroeter.</font></font></blockquote>
