<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I have been using the smaller Nyrod as a sleeve and
slide the wire down inside it after it is glued inside the fuse. The small size
allows the wire to slide yet to small to allow kinking. I would be fearful of
cutting the wire using a rod to jamb it down the tube. You don't want to create
an electrically shorter antenna length.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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></DIV>
