Antenna wire
#26

here is a way to safely "GO HIGH" for an exterior long wire.

Or what some would say a redneck way of doing things i guess. 

This is how i did mine to get up higher but i used metal pipe , i felt like PVC would be to floppy in the wind. The same process for metal pipe, and using conduit would be ok to.

secure insulator on one end of your single or multi section pre glued pvc pipe.
Tie off antenna wire to your insulator and let out some slack off your spool which lies on the ground for the remainder of this process.
drill two holes in your first PVC Pipe section spaced apart as you see fit.
Go up and drill a lag bolt hole in the highest to reach location on your surface.
go back down ladder
Tie a rope to the end of your pvc pipe
you carry your PVC pipe end up with you (with your tools in your back pocket)and secure with a lag bolt and washer making it only snug.
Go back down
relocate your ladder then pull on your rope to swing your pvc pipe "UP" and tie your rope off to keep the pvc pointed "UP".
go back up ladder Add your second bolt through your second pvc pipe hole to your surface but just get it started.
untie your rope then finish off your second bolt.
Your antenna wire is now unspooled itself and your ready to do the other work to get the wire into a building.

you dont want your antenna wire to be touching anything at all but the insulator.
