[Public-list] Mast Wiring

[Don Campbell]

Be very leery of insulating wires beyond what code will allow in a conduit
for cooling reasons. DC builds heat far more than AC currents and by
insulating things you might be more suseptible to fires. One might get by
with narrow rings of foam loosely taped and supported on wire ties.
