I'm planning to install a HF dipole fed with 450 ohm ladder line. At the center point I have a Ladder-Loc center insulator by WA1FFL. It looks very good, but I question how much stress it will handle. The copperweld wire will be held in a Pyrex center insulator and the Ladder-Loc will be a strain relief.
Any thoughts on the house end? I'd like to keep the ladder line fairly high and then let it form a drip loop before raising to the 4:1 balun mounted under the eave. Any thoughts on some sort of strain relief or method of attachment?
