Antenna downlead help
#3
I can vouch for the excellent supporting properties of yellow tongue. I had the same issue of feed line breaking at the termination at the dipole feedpoint and at the entry to the shack. About 8 years ago I added some yellow tongue to both those points and I have never looked back. The dipole has broken twice in strong winds but never at the points supported by the yellow tongue. Yes, I could probably do better at the shack entry but it has served me very well so far.

         

I imagine Bernard's suggestion will last for years without the need for maintenance.
