Back in the 70's when I first got my ticket, Bob Kastle - K4TQW had a
vertical fashioned from tower that utilized three six ounce Coke bottles
for leg insulators. They were each filled with cement. When I asked
about the cement, Bob said, "That's just in case one of them shatters."
Bob's 40m vertical stood until after he was a silent key.
