I made these for suspending 18-gauge lamp wire that I split down the middle to create two elevated radials for a 1/4 wave vertical whip antenna.
These could be used to suspend the ends of a dipole as well.
I designed the insulator quickly. I find that it works very well and I use them all the time. I tie off the large hole with short length of rope to a support and feed the wire through the first and last small hole to hold the radial suspended via its insulation friction so the radials are elevated but are easy to swap out for different tuned radials when transmitting on other amateur radio bands.
