…Added a picture. The inner insulation was adhered to the center conductor and I probably should have cleaned it up with some goo-gone, but it adds to the overall shoddy look and this antenna still worked very well…

As the Spider need not be elegant looking to perform well, dont bother about its looks.

In the model I originally built one and a half years ago (May 2015), I left the insulation on whip and radials.

Last month (Sept 2016), for experiment to demonstrate the affect of ground plane, I built another one. This time I removed the insulation from whip & radials.

I have noticed that men like the naked wire more than the fully covered ones, although the wires are not at all sexy .
