Is there any special "trick" to make getting the antenna wire through the plastic antenna tube easier?

I tried putting mine in last night, but it would bind up quite a bit causing me to not be able to get it in fully. I ended up just getting my fingers damp and touching them to a bar of soap to get a tiny bit of soap on them and ran that down the length of the antenna wire. It threaded through easily after that.

Any other tips for the future?

try a little bit of shock oil or some greese,.

i always spit into the tube and push it out with air then i get the wire wet and it will go through nice and easy

straighten the wire and lube it.

I straighten the wire a by holding the base and pulling along it a few times, then I put a drop of turbine oil into the tube, that generally does it.

I use baby powder....its not a chemical and it smells good....just rub some on the wire before inserting it into the tube.

Powder while straightening out the wire at the same time is what I do.

i use baby powder, chalk dust, talcum powder, anything thats a powder, and will make it slide in easy [8D]
