I'm preparing to install a SSB and have been advised to hold the antenna
cable off the backstay an inch or so until it actually connects to the
backstay above the lower isolater. Any ideas what I might use for
standoffs?
Thanks

or.............. short lengths of 1/2" PVC (or other small plastic tube)
used as a stand-off. Tying the GTO-15 antenna cable to the lower backstay
with black, UV resistant nylon ties, both legs of the tie running through
the short tubes. (and around both the backstay and the antenna cable, of
course). That way you can choose, or easily change the clearance distance to
whatever you can live with.
