If you have piece of old conduit, cut slice of it, then cut patch about 1/4 of the perimeter, make sure the patch piece is bigger than hole. Use PVC cement (it softens the PVC) smear it on both piece

I would like to see or hear that it is a fact. Any actual experiences out there? Based on my experience with insulated wire Quad elements, it works NOT. Insulation didn't seem to do any good. The top

Thanks for the "picture" Greg! Looking at some of the commercial monsters, you almost have to be superfly to do the work on them. Our ham towers are toys and we try to do as much as we can ourselves.

What Interesting. See if you can model feedlines from antennas that are connected by their shields (as just about all antenna switches do) and their centers open and/or shorted, and the combinations.

Nice thing about using self-supporting guyed tower is that you can have one set of guy wires about 2/3 or 3/4 height up, you can drop them down when calm wx or working on the antennas (no interferenc
