I would like to put up a full size 80 meters vertical without guys. I will have space for a buried radial system of as many 1/4 wave radials as is needed for good performance. Would prefer an insulat
Ron; First, compare your county's wind load rating zone, ie 70 MPH etc.. Comtek 4-Square users have modified Hy-Gain Hy-Towers (24') by stripping all stubs off and tapering the aluminum "stinger" so

Self-supporting aluminum tower (Heights or similar) self-supports easily at these required lengths. What's the question? Jeff Maass jmaass@columbus.rr.com Located near Columbus Ohio USPSA # L-1192 N
For a complete system that can work 3 bands with the tuner, and is very attractive, have a look at the Titanex 80HD Free standing tower. It includes the insulated base and Winch to put it up or down.
Hi Ken, You made this suggestion before with a dipole, and when I looked at it on a Smith Chart it wouldn't work at all. With the dipole (and ladder line) the SWR at the upper band edge was very poor
A truly self supporting 80M vertical is a challenge. A set of LIGHT guys, close in, greatly simplifies the design. For relatively short masts with very small loads, there is no reason the guys can't
