Gordon...
Do you have enough trees around your QTH to just make the antennas for the 4
square
using wires???
I would think just around everyone around here has some trees that are high
enough to
run ropes that would provide a high enough support. Another idea would be to
look
into those 30 push-up masts that Rohn sells -
they might have them at Radio Shack too... I think they are pretty inexpensive.

Subject: [SECC] Vertical Followup - Actually 4 Sqare
I was looking at putting up a four square for 40 to start with.
Option 1
Rohn 25 30' x 4 = 120' x 35 section (used ?) $ 420
Tower Insulator Set from Array Solutions $180 x 4 $ 720
Comtek box $ 350
----------
----
1490 plus ???? coax, connectors, dummy load, ??
Irrigation Pipe 120' x $3.75 foot $ 450
(more than
the tower !)
Home Made Insulator ???? $ 0 ???
Comtek box $ 350
---------
---
800
As you can see the insulators are a big cost I didn't think about. Could use
some
suggestions..
Just dreaming...
