WIRE SLEEVING

Question #1: what do you want the sleeving for using open wire? You can leave the open wire feeders bare.
Question #2: How long and what material? Waterproof like PVC or just as an insulator like woven fiberglass sleeving?
You could use heatshrink tubing.It comes in rolls up to 100 or 500 feet. That may be a bit expensive however. Most any electronics supplier or electrical supplies dealer would carry it.

What is there to worry about leaving #14 bare wire to the elements? An antenna wire is left to the weather and lasts for decades.
I think you will find that unless there is some unusual reason for it, 'coating' #14 wire for antenna or feed line use, it's not a 'biggy' at all. I'm sure that it will help slow the tarnishing of the metal, but that's not a serious factor either.
Is there some particular reason for this, or just a sort of 'want too' thingy?
