hi
i'm looking for suggestions on raising 70 ft of aluminum tubing into the air
for verticals on 80m. what are others using: telescoping tubing?
irrigation tubing? or what?
most needed, what method was used to get it up?
i've been using telescoping 12 ft lengths of .058" , starting at 2" dia and
found that abt 45 ft is the maximum i can tilt up by hand.
if i were to push up the telescoping tubes, i would have to be 14 ft off the
ground as
i push each section up and out from the ones below --too high for an 8 foot
step ladder.
for a base insulator, i have 4 ft lengths of solid plexiglass rods 1.875 inch
dia
which fit into the 2" dia , .058 bottom tube.
73, fred
