I use 21' of 1020DOM 1/4" wall steel tube for 2 towers. However on another I have a 15' length of galvanized fence pipe. I believe it is called Schedule 40+ and it has supported a 3 el 20M monobander

Calculated risk is what I called it! If only a single antenna of any significant wind load is going to be mounted just above the tower top plate then cast iron pipe is more than sufficient as there i

There are several grades of fence posts; the cheap stuff is Schedule 15 and other choices go up to 83,000 psi yield strength. The 2" (1.9" OD) 40+ that I use has a yield of 50,000 psi and a bending m

Which is not the same as fence industry size. They call it 2" & 2 1/2" for the Sch40. Trying to compare sizes across industries that do not have a common standard only results in headaches. Carl KM1

Sounds like a Hi Gain, they always liked to add extra elements. I built PV 4el on 10/15/20 in 1983. They performed right by the published curves and I used a (compensated) severe taper on 20M. BTW, i

One thing that I would consider with a 34' boom is interaction; it is possibly too close to resonant to be healthy IMO. Take a look at the 4 el Cushcraft on the same 34', its not a stellar performer.

Dan, thanks for that link. What are the specs of the Aztec sleeve balun? From the table it appears to use 73/77 mix ferrite which peaks at low HF. For 10-20M a 43 mix would improve the performance. A

Playing in a lab somtimes has little bearing in a real world situation. With a reactive load as would exist with many commercial and home brew antennas leakage is not only possible but very likely.
