Re: Topband: pressure treated wood for RX ant supports?

Jamie,

The wood would have zero effect on any antenna.

And 4x4 pressure treated lumber (probably yellow pine) is waaaay overkill.

Keep in mind that pressure treated lumber may warp in time (my 2x2 Beverage
antenna supports sure did!). In my experience, ordinary #2 pine coated with
marine spar varnish is not likely to warp.
